First post - YouTube vid embed

So, for my first post, I'm going to try to embed a YouTube video (Britney Spears!! Stronger) right here. To do that, I can't use the "Add video" option without going in lengths. Rather, I will use the "Embed" text that you can find below the description of nearly any YouTube video.

So, where do I start?
  1. Find Britney Stronger music video on YouTube.
  2. Copy the embed text into my clipboard.
Ooops! I just failed! It seems as though they removed the option to embed britney's music vids. You can see it in the snapshot below, which I took today (Nov. 18th 2008).



Ok, that was boring! Instead, I'll grab a mercyme video, hoping they don't mind.

  1. Search for mercyme on youtube.
  2. Copy the embed text below the description.
  3. Get back to blogger.
  4. Paste the embed text in the "Edit Html" mode.

Ok, here goes nothing! Preview!

(I modified the style a tiny bit to get it centered, but it wasn't necessary)

That video didn't have much "video" going for it, but you can request the poster to make a better one, or go ahead and make one yourself. You can use Windows movie maker, it comes with windows if you're a PC user. My sister already made some fun videos pretty easily with that. I personally lost my mercyme CD, so I won't be able to do it.

Alright! That's it for my first post.

Philly Yeah!
