Hi – I was wondering what program you used to create your videos. I like Brainshark but am always interested in other programs, too.

You are awesome. Am I correct in saying embedding YouTube videos isn’t like article copyright issues?

Nicole, Great info for those that need embedding help… I myself and over 39 😉 don’t need the tutorial but I am glad to see you teaching those that do… you always offer up something good.

@danmorris Great tip there for Tubepress, haven’t used it but intend to. (Been using other plugins) Isn’t Open Source Great?!!!

I like that your videos are easy to follow without being patronizing.

I just thought I’d add a video tip to this embed idea. I use a plug-in called Tubepress. Tubepress is great because it will pull in a bunch of videos at once and create a neat “table” of videos with a movie window at the top.

All you do is add videos to a playlist in YouTube, then copy the playlist ID and paste it into the TubePress settings on your blog. Then, where you want to insert the videos into your blog post, you just type [tubepress] and voila! it’s done.

It’s quite a bit different than embedding one video in a blog post – and great fun!

Thanks Nicole for the great video tutorial! I only THOUGHT I knew how to embed videos. ‘Glad I watched yours. (When I previously did mine, I missed the part on the sizing of the videos.) I will certainly go to your YouTube channel for your wonderful explanations. Thanks again!

Thanks Celene!

I am so grateful that Nicole has the patience I taught her so she could teach me. Wow… that was a weird thought process. (insert head rattling)

😀

Anyway, thanks again Celene. Yes, we 39 and holdin’ group sure can be thankful for our tech savvy youngsters. (Although Nicole swears she’s not tech savvy. Well she sure fooled us.)

Hey Nik!
Thanks for the S-I-M-P-L-E instructions for installing videos on WordPress. It does get overwhelming when you’re a beginner, like me. Even the phrase “html” had me breaking out in hives at first. 😉

Quick question. Do videos actually provide content in the eyes of Google? Or is it really providing content, fun, instruction, etc. for readers only?

That’s funny Patti, I can absolutely relate! At our age (39 and holdin’) this technology stuff is a bit more intimidating for us than the under 39 set. Thank goodness for people like Nicole to show us the ropes. We’ll be OK, if they just speak s-l-o-w-l-y. ;^)

Hugs,
Celene
