How To Add Video to Your Posts – Tips for the Teen Blogger

by Eva Leave a Comment

Video content is hugely popular, especially with teen blogs. If you’re a teen blogger, knowing how to find the right video, add or embed it to your post, and resize to fit the style and look of your site can totally transform how you blog. These tips will show you how to get it done in seconds flat and use video content to rack up readers and increase blog views.

Adding You Tube videos to a post can add so much to the look and feel of your article.  Although it is a straightforward process it took me a bit to figure it out.  There are only five steps and here they are:

1.  Find the video on You Tube that you want to embed in your post.

2.  Click the ‘share’ button.

 

Tips for the Teen Blogger

See the ‘share’ button? It is underlined in red.

 

3.  Copy the code.

This will allow you to put a sentence underneath the video with a direct link in case some of your readers cannot see the video in your post.  You might put something like:

Can’t see the video?  Click HERE.

These tips will show you how to get it done in seconds flat and use video content to rack up readers and increase blog views.

(Simply highlight the word HERE and paste in the link so that they can click directly to You Tube to see the video. This is also what you could do if you wanted to email the link to a friend.)

4.  Resize the video if you want.

 

It's easy to get the video to be the perfect size for your site. You can experiment until you get it just right.

Tips for the Teen Blogger

Copy and paste the code directly into your post using the text screen.

Remember you have to be in the ‘Text’ screen NOT in the ‘Visual’ screen when you copy the code to embed the vido.  And don’t worry when only an orange box appears on the ‘Visual’ screen.  The video won’t appear until you publish the post.

I still have a long way to go to figuring out how to do things on this blog but I am learning.  Hope this helps you get starting with posting video on your site.
