How to post a YouTube (or other video site) clip into your blog posts

Posted by: Quadsville Help Desk on June 16, 2008 at 9:16AM CST

If you find a clip out there to share with the Quadsville community, you'll need to do a little HTML work to be able to embed the player in a blog post. Fortunately, that's just copying and pasting, and it's pretty straightforward. Here's how:

Go to the page that contains the video you want to grab - usually a video profile page on YouTube or other services.
Look for something that says "embed" or "embed this". There should be a text field neat it with a bunch of code starting with "<embed". Highlight all the text in that field and copy it to your clipboard (CTRL-C on PC, CMD-C on Mac).
Go to your Quadsville blog and create a new entry.
Click on the "Advanced" Tab beneath the blog name, and above the posting form. You will see the blog editor options change a bit.
Type in your post title and any text you want to appear above the video.
Click the 'Edit HTML' button at the bottom of the form and paste the embed code below the text you see in the editing box. Paste is CTRL-V on a PC and CMD-V on a Mac.
That's it! Just click 'Publish Now' and you're done.
