Embedding video is really easy on most platforms and is a great way of adding movement and life to your site. Youtube videos have two links next to them, a URL and embed code.
If you want to upload video, using Youtube is much easier than finding your own host and it will automatically be available to Youtube’s audience on millions.
On WordPress, find the little icon on the top of your site that looks like a film strip. Paste your copied URL from the Youtube video into the box that appears.
That’s it!
I work part-time for Talk About Local, mainly trying to develop resources that will help make new bloggers’ journey smoother and widen awareness of the range of free tools at our fingertips and the clever ways people use them. I also help out with unconferences, webinars and workshops. I’m passionate about the communities that are sometimes left voiceless and love discovering the small, the hidden and the new.
