Tutorial Eight: Explaining the Process of Posting You Tube Videos and Flickr Badges to Blogs

As you can see in my blog, I have posted a You Tube video that was made in class and also uploaded a Flickr 'Badge' into Blogger. For your information and use, I will explain how to do this, incase you want to use it for future use.....

Instead of writing step-by-step instructions of how to embed a You Tube video, I have posted a video showing you how to do it. Keep in mind though that it is not updated. Thus the 'embed' option that you have to copy to put in the 'edit html' option in a new post is actually on the right hand side of the video (rather than underneath the video).
The video is a bit slow, but shows the whole process - hope it helps!

And TIP: as you watch the video, pause it so you can do it yourself at the same time.......



I found that posting a Flickr 'Badge' was a tad more confusing than the You Tube videos, but have a go and decide for yourself!
Follow these instructions on this link of how to make a Flickr Badge.....

Once you have made your Flickr Badge and copied the code, follow these steps;
- click on the 'Layout' tab
- Under the 'Page Elements' tab, click on 'Add a Gadget'
- Then click on the 'HTML/JavaScript' option.
- Write a Title
- and then in the 'Content' section, paste the copied code for the Flickr Badge that you have made.
- then click 'Save' and it should be on your page!
