Embedding Video
To upload a Video to your website you will need to:
- Upload your video to Google here: Google Video (you will need to create an account)
- Copy the 'Embedded HTML' code by clicking on 'Email - Blog - Post to MySpace'
Next, click 'Embedded HTML' Click Edit>Copy (or keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + C)
- Open Notepad (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad) and paste the code (Ctrl + V)
- Save as 'video.html' somewhere where you will be able to find it, like Desktop
- Locate the video.html file you just saved and double-click on it. It should open in Internet Explorer and you should see the video and play it.
- Click Edit>Select All (Ctrl + A)
- Click Edit>Copy (Ctrl + C)
- Open the page on your website where you would like to insert the video.
- Log into site editor and place the cursor where you want to insert the video.
- Click Edit>Paste (Ctrl + V). Important: when prompted to remove formatting, select "Cancel".
