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.
