Embedding Google Videos in blog posts
Recently, there have been links to Google Videos in blog posts on Happiness and Dictionaries.
Instead of linking to the videos, you can embed them directly in your blog posts. However, Google Videos does not make this feature very obvious. Here's how you can embed videos in your blog posts.
- Navigate to the video you want to embed.
- From the video page, click
. - Then click the Embed HTML link. Copy the code (click in the text field, Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-C).
- In the Write a Blog Post or Edit Post page, make sure you are in the HTML edit mode (bottom right of the text field). Then paste (Ctrl-V) the code you copied.
- Publish it, and you should be able to see the video embedded in your post.
It's always a good idea to provide the direct link to the video in the post as the embed might not turn up in feed readers.
You can also embed YouTube videos in your presentations.
