posting youtube videos
Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:08 am
i know the youtube tag is confusing, so to clear it up (or make it worse), i thought i'd tell you folks how to do it.
first, go to youtube and find a neat video that you'd like to share.
second, go up to the ADDRESS BAR in your browser and highlight everything that appears BEFORE the "&feature=" part. copy it.
third, start a new post here, click on the youtube button, and paste the address you copied in between the tags that appear.
hit the Submit button and you're done.
in the example below, the address shown when i found the video on youtube was:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsp238XV ... ture=feedf
and the part i copied in between the youtube tags was:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsp238XVLgM
and what you get is:
*NOTE* THIS IS NOT THE EMBED TAG OR LINK THAT YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE INTO AN EMAIL FROM THE YOUTUBE PAGE. THIS IS THE ADDRESS IN YOUR BROWSER'S ADDRESS BAR, MINUS THE "&" SIGN AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES AFTER IT.
clear as mud???
