How do I add a YouTube video to my Web page or blog?I keep finding these great videos on YouTube and want to include some of them in my Typepad blog but I have no idea how to do that. I tried dragging and dropping while I was composing an entry, but was totally unsurprised when it didn't work either. Can it be done? Ah yes, the astonishingly popular site YouTube. Turns out that it's pretty darn easy to find a video on YouTube and then include it in your blog entry or on your Web page. I dug around and found an interesting little video showing the globe sculpture on the grounds of the Vatican Museum. Here's a link: Globe at Vatican Museum. When you go there to check it out, notice the navigational elements on the right side of the video clip itself, in the "About This Video" box. It looks like this: ![]() You can see the box you need, it's labeled "Embed" and the code, if you were to unwrap it all, would look like this: <object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HvHOCqbA6rE"> </param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HvHOCqbA6rE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object> When I actually copy and paste it here, you'll see, the video just shows up: Cool, eh? That'll answer your question and also point out how many people are doing video blogging (aka "vlogging").

Posted by: Naveen at June 29, 2007 6:55 PMI would like to add video to my websites and blog but when I add the embedded info as per your instructions above via cut n paste ... nothing happens. In Dreamweaver do I have to add the embed code via Add > HTML > Script ? Or, is there some other way I am missing. I am a novice. Thank you for your additional instructions. Deidre Posted by: Deidre at July 31, 2007 7:19 PMhey Dave, Hey, thanks man... It's just now when I embed the vid into my page, the video wont play. It appears, but when I play it, it goes right to replay as if the video was over, yet it never even started. :-\ Posted by: Flint at September 11, 2007 7:24 AMDear Dave Am trying to psot a You Tube video on my TypePad blog. Did what you say above, copied coding in 'embeded' and pasted in my post, but it only shows the coding and not the video. Will the video come up when I've completed and saved the post, or should it show already before saving? Sophia Posted by: Sophia at October 4, 2007 3:31 AMThanks for a fast, precise and real-world set of instructions to run youtube videos on my website. QUESTION: when the youtube video ends, how do I remove the image from the web page?
