To embed something in your Blogger blog or Google Site, it is basically the same process. I'll explain how to embed a YouTube video here, and you can adapt this to embedding other things.
 |
| 1. Click "Share" |
1. Go to a YouTube video page, and click the "Share" button (which looks like a Greater Than symbol, and is near the "+Add To")
 |
| 2. Click "Embed" |
 |
| 3. Copy this HTML code to your clipboard. |
3. Copy this HTML code to your clipboard.
Steps 1-3 may look a bit different, depending on the site you get your embed code from.
4. Now, in Blogger, begin a now blog post.
 |
| 5. Click HTML |
you'll see Compose and HTML. Click HTML.
6. You'll now see the way that blog post looks in raw HTML code. Since it's blank at this point, it will only look like this:
7. Paste the embed code you got from YouTube (Step 3, above) in that window somewhere. It will be easy to move it later, if you don't choose exactly the right place.
8. Click back to "Compose", and you should see your video will be.
If you're using Google Sites instead of Blogger, you will see a rectangle where your video will be. You need to click "Save" to see the actual video.
9. I suggest adding a bit of text just before your video, to explain to your audience what they're about to see. This way, they will perhaps be persuaded to actually click on, and view, the video. Entice them to spend the time necessary to watch the whole thing, etc.
Below is what your blog article might look like, if you were introducing this YouTube video:
