YouTube is the internet gold standard for free easy video sharing. Add some depth or perspective to your blog post content by posting a relevant video to share, whether it is one that you found or one that you created and uploaded to YouTube yourself.
Step 1. Locate the video that you want embedded into your blog post, and copy the “Embed” code.
When you click on the Embed code, several options appear below it. Use these options to make the video smaller or larger. A video that takes up too much space on your page and interferes with the sidebar may need to be shrank. Remember that anytime you change an option on YouTube, the embed code is brand new and has to be changed.
Step 2. Edit the blog post that you would like to include the video in. Click the “HTML” tab, and paste the embed code that you copied from Youtube
Step 3. Publish your post, and test to make sure that the video is working.
