Videos in posts

This may sound like a big dumb question, but how do we make pictures and videos show up right in the post?  I only know how to embed the link and my posts are looking boring!

Thanks guys!  Hopefully someone can help!

Hey, Mary!

I can fix the links you've already put in if need be, but try this first.

If you get your link from YouTube, click on the embed button and copy all that code.

Then, on the blog you'll click on the "Edit HTML" tab when you create a new post (top right) and paste all the code in there. Then, click the compose tab again and write your post.

It should show up with the video/pic embedded on the page!

:)

Thanks so much Amy!  I'm going to try it now :)

You're such a blog pro!

I'm mad because I did it...but the video is so big it's overlapping off the blog!  Can someone help?!

Hey, Mary!

No worries. Ashley had one that did that too, but as we post more it'll move down and won't be an issue. Great job on figuring it out though!!

Amy - 

I'm still really struggling to get my podcast to upload. Did yours take a really long time to process? Mine just seems to keep clocking and then at least the last time I tried, it just gave up.  :(

[Amy Eichenlaub]

Yes, it took a long time.

I left it alone for a few hours, and then it was working :)

If your file's really big, maybe a friend can show you how to save it so less space?
