Adding video from Youtube
This is pretty easy and should not stretch you too much
- Find your Youtube video
- copy the URL - the stuff in the address bar at the top
- go to your edublogs post
- click on the little yellow circular icon on the right hand side with a letter “A” in it
- paste in the url of the video (the one you copied before - eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PC4HhI0bK4c )
- Just double check that it looks like this and not http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MeE2E7nqe0w
- this has an extra bit “uk” which doesn’t seem to work, so simple delete it so it looks likehttp://youtube.com/v/MeE2E7nqe0w
- then click publish
- the player should now show the video in your post
- for collections of videos in one post eg if students use more than one camera
- or they take more than one video clip
- you can repeat this and have videos one below the other
- make sure you place the cursor under the previous address entry
- and you’d like them to be a bit less out there, use VodPod
- Setting up a vodpod - for video then
- Adding video from vodpod

Hi Mike - have been following your useful hints for ‘edublog wrestling’ in here as I like to call it, since i started blogging earlier this year - however i have been foiled by this video thing. Have followed your instructions faithfully (after I couldn’t do it myself) and tried a number of variations and still no joy. Had my friend Sue waters try and she can’t get it to work either - and it should be so SIMPLE! any suggestions? I am going crazy!
Cheers Sue
