Adding Video or Audio To A Post

Video:

1. First, you have to find a video clip [music video, movie trailer, etc.]. You can search other blogs for vidoes you like. You can search websites you know about to find videos. You can search www.vimeo.com or www.metacafe.com for videos. ***Make sure the video is available to share. The video must have an "embedded" code. Look for " embed".***

2. Follow the same instructions for creating a post [see the April 20th post titled: Creating a 'Post'. In the body of your post, you will copy and paste the embedded code of the video. It will look like 10 lines of letters and numbers in your post, don't worry. Click the 'Preview' button to see what the post will look like to other people. Then click the the 'Hide Preview' button to get back to your post.

3. Make sure you click 'Save Now' and then 'Publish Post' when you are done posting.


Audio:

1. You need to have an acutal MP3 on a flash drive OR you can search webistes and blogs to find songs to download [Not all songs or websites allow you to download songs]. **If you see a song in this type of format:

you would have to click on the 'divshare' icon and then sign up for an account...the process is just like that for an email account. Then you will be able to download this song which you would then be able to upload to your blog.

2. To post a song to your blog, you need to look for the 'embed' link, copy and paste it into the body of your post. Or you can copy and paste the link to your blog seen here: http://www.divshare.com/download/6534857-36f. To make this a click on link, highlight the whole address and then click the 'link' icon [next to the b and i] and paste the whole address again. Now you can click here http://www.divshare.com/download/6534857-36f to get to the song.
