Example of an Embedded Video

In this post is an example of embedding a multimedia object; in this case, a video.
  1. Locate the video on a video sharing site (like YouTube).
  2. Under the video (usually), click the Share button to get the code you need.
  3. Highlight and copy the code.
  4. Go back to your post.
  5. Switch to HTML view.
  6. Paste the code where you want the video to show up.
Embedding means that while the image or video appears on your blog,
the actual content remains on the server that hosts it.

Welcome to the class blog!

We will learn the basics of posting (writing) to a blog over the next few weeks, while continuing to explore college planning. Your main goal this week is to get your blog up and running, with a Welcome post as your introduction. After you have created your blog, send your blog address to the class email list. Visit each of your classmates' blogs (and mine) and post a comment. Use your Blogger Help to guide you, or simply Google how to post to a Blogger blog. Look for familiar icons on your screens (the B, I, U for bold, italic, and underlining, for example) and use them to dress up your blog post.
