Videos on your blog

You can have videos from YouTube or any other video place, such as Dailymotion, or any other you may know, and you can even have your own videos, recorded as in my case with a simple digital camera.
First, and as usual, you have to sign up as a user in http://www.youtube.com. Once you have signed in as a registered user, you'll see that you can look for videos, add them to your favourites, create playlists or even copy the embed code and have them published in your blog.
If you want to upload your own video to YouTube, click on your username (my account) at the top of the page, click on My Videos and select My uploaded videos. Then, click on New and select upload video. As usual, you have to examine your folder, select the file, fill in the information about the file and finally click on upload.
Once the file has been uploaded and all changes saved, you can go to your videos in your account and if you click on the video, it will open up in a bigger size and some information on the right and below will appear. On the right, you'll find both the link and the embed code to have the video published on your blog. Copy the embed code, go to your blog and paste the code in a new post, and then click on view blog to see if you have been succesful. Good luck!
