Question

How do you put a YouTube link on a 360 blog?

Answer 1

Adding a LINK to a BLOG entry:

- Go to YouTube and copy the web address (i.e. direct URL) of the video.

- Click the "My Blog" link at the top.

- Click "Compose Blog Entry" directly under it.

- Type the name of the link in the "Entry Content" box and select it with your cursor.

- In the "Entry Content" box, five buttons over is the "Add a Link" button. Click it and add an absolute URL (i.e. one that begins... http://www.domain name.. etc). Paste the entire URL that you copied from YouTube in the popup box, then save that and your entry.

- You can also add links to your "Blogroll" by clicking the "Edit Blogroll" at the top of the "My Blog" page (or your Blast, shown through the "My Page/Top Page").

If you prefer, you can EMBED the video so that people can play it right through your blog entry:

- Find the embed code for the video that you want to add. See http://www.youtube.com/sharing , for an example of where that embed code is located. You can choose a video from Yahoo! Video or Google Video (and even more services than that).

- Click on "My Blog" and create a new entry.

- Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.

- Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.

- Click "Save" button and see if it appears.
