HOW TO ADD VIDEO TO YOUR WEB SITE:
To embed a streaming video to your website:
1. Upload your video to http://video.google.com or http://youtube.com/.
2. Go to the page where your video is posted on their public site and obtain the html code that is provided for you to "embed" that video into another website. If you are using Google Video, click on the “email-blog-post to MySpace” button, then on “Embed HTML”. On YouTube, you’ll see that code clearly available in the “Embed” field. Copy that code to the Windows clipboard.
3. Log in to your website admin tool and edit the page that you wish to embed the video on.
4. Click the "source" button on the toolbar of the text editor and you’ll see the source code that already exists for that page.
5. Put your cursor within the code in the location on the page that you'll want this video to display, right-click and choose “paste”.
6. Click the save button and preview your site.
7. If necessary, repeat steps 3-7 and move that source code around until you get the video to display nicely on that page.
