You like YouTube

YouTube is an excellent tool for us. You can find everything from online lectures to home videos. We all know how to use photos in our posts but do you know how to insert a video? 

Your next post assignment is to find an interesting, funny, exciting or cool video on YouTube and include it in your post. Tell your readers why you like this particular video. 
  • A good place to start is to search for your favourite musician or band on YouTube.
  • Choose a video clip of your favourite song.
  • On the top right side of the page (when the video is playing) there is "About this video"
  • Highlight and copy the HTML code under "Embed"
  • You can paste this code in the "Edit HTML" window when you are posting (it's next to "Compose" in the posting window). 
Daft Punk are one of my favourite groups. This video clip is so amazing. I love how the dancers each represent a different element of the song. It's quirky and almost flawless. Make sure you watch all of it! 


Daft Punk:  Around The World

Another brilliant video clip is Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At? The faces on the monkeys are actually the faces of the band members. The computer graphics are fantastic in this clip and it tells an interesting story. Maybe this will be the next step after cloning!
