Okay, I just learned how to do this, and thought I'd better write it down so I can remember for the next time I want to do it...
To embed a YouTube video into a blog post (to embed is to have a video screen appear in the body of your post, rather than just pasting in a link to a video in your post...click here to see an example), follow these steps:
- Find the YouTube video you want to embed.
- To the right of the video on YouTube, you'll see two codes, one called "URL" and one called "embed." Copy the "embed" code.
- If you want a border on your video, before you copy the "embed" code, click on the asterisk icon to the right of the code. A drop down menu appears, giving you various border color options. Click the color you want, make sure you check the box that says "Show Border," then copy the "embed" code.
- On your blog, start a new post. Write whatever text you want to appear before and after the video you'll be embedding.
- Click on the "Edit Html" tab of the post.
- Paste the code you copied where you want the video to appear in your post text.
- Publish post.
Pretty fancy and pretty easy!

Ooooh! I need to remember this! I embeded a YouTube vid once, but I did it all from the Youtube website...it didn't come out quite like I wanted. For example, I couldn't put a label on the post. I need to try it this way!
Herana-
This is one of the standard Blogger templates, but I usually change the color scheme to suit the seasons, and sometimes change the fonts. It helps give a custom look to a standard template. :)
I first saw your blog, you write well, this is a good post left me a deep impression at the same time gave me some very useful information. I am glad that you can share with us these, thank you! I wish you good luck.
