How to Insert Video on your post

Well guys, have you tried to insert image to your post? This time around we will insert a video on your post but the question is how could we insert a video? We will use the YOUTUBE.com for the reference of video. I am thinking right now about Bruno Mars, so I will insert the Just The Way You Are Music Video here. Simply follow the steps below guys.

  • Look for the video to be insert here in your blog.
  • Then copy the embed code of the video (or in youtube, you could right click the video and click Copy Embed HTML).
  • Go to >>> Edit HTML not on Compose and paste your code there.
  • Then click the Compose so that you will have a preview of your embedded video.
  • If you want to align your video from the left or right side of your paragraph then Edit HTML again and look for this code of the video:

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px;">

Add this code inside the double quote on the above code ( float: left; ), so the code will look like this one:

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px; float: left;">

You could change the value of left into right to wrap the video to the right side of your paragraph.

Example:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog near the bank of the river. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog near the bank of the river. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog near the bank of the river. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog near the bank of the river.
