For those of you who can’t get those darn YouTube or Viddler videos to show up in your blog, here’s how you do it:

NOTE: I have changed the < > brackets to [ ] brackets so they will show up. When you go to use this code, change them back to < > brackets.

1. You have to preface the YouTube embed link with this code:

[strong]Title of The Video[/strong]

[table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="425"]
[tr]
[td]

[object height="355" width="425">

2. And you have put this code at the END of the embed link:

[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

3. As for the video embed link itself, you have to change the code from what YouTube gives you.

For example, this is the embed link of a video as copied and pasted from YouTube:

[object width="425" height="344"][param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HQuODiMlUsc&hl=en&fs=1"][/param][param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"][/param] [tr]
[td]
[object height="370" width="437"]

Otherwise, everything stays the same as I outlined for YouTube videos.

And that’s it!

Here’s what a YouTube video will look like in your blog post:

Here’s what a Viddler video will look like in your blog:

I find it easiest to copy the block of code I’ve given you above and paste it into Notepad or TextEdit while I’m writing my blog post. Then I can double-check back and forth easily to make sure I’ve got everything correct.

Hope that helps you out and saves you a wee bit of time!
