How to Embed aYoutube Video Into a Webpage

Here are the steps to embed a YouTube
Video into a webpage:

1. Go to the YouTube Home Page
2. Look for the search box
3. Search on something that will
   uniquely identify the video
4. You will likely be given several
   choices of video to look at. Click
   on the one you are looking for.
5. Once the video comes up, look
   for the word embed underneath
   the video
6. Click on embed
7. Look for the highlighted code
   that appears after you click embed
8. Copy the code by holding down the
   control key and hitting the letter c
   at the same time. If you hold down both
   keys simultaneiously, you have a key combination
   commonly known as a control-c.
9. Use the control-c to copy the
   embedded code
10. Paste the embedded code into your web
    page using a control-v

How you copy and paste may differ from
the steps given above. A copy and paste
on a Windows computer is control-c (copy)
followed by a control-v (paste).

Putting the embedded video into a webpage
is another topic that is really not covered
by these steps. In other words, you need
to know a little bit about altering web
pages to follow these steps.

Where can you place your embedded YouTube
videos? Place it anywhere you can place HTML.
Embedded YouTube videos go where HTML goes.

There are so many different possibilities
including regular web pages, bulletin boards,
and social networking web pages. However, all
these possibilities need to have one thing
in common in order to embed a YouTube video.
All these possibilities need to allow you to
write your own HTML.

YouTube embedded code is HTML. If you
are not allowed to embed HTML into a webpage,
you will not be allowed to embed a YouTube
video.

Converting MP3 to YouTube

 
This is a new blog. Currently,
I'm learning how to add MP3 audio
to a YouTube video.

Actually, I'm learning more than
this. I'm learning how to create
my first YouTube video.

I own some MP3 files that I've created.
I want to make these audio files play
on YouTube. That's my goal. In addition,
I want a single frame of video to show.

Here are my two goals:

1. An MP3 that can be converted to
   YouTube so that clicking Play
   plays an audio file.
2. A single photograph (still photo)
   that shows while the audio plays.

As you can see, my goal is a very simple
one. Here's something I've found which
may help:

FFmpeg

This is command-line software that converts
between video formats. This sounds like
something that might do the trick.

I'll write more as I learn more. I've
started a new blog to teach myself more
about FFMpeg:
