Did You Know - Blog Messages!!
<p><span style="font-size: small;">In this Episode of "Did You Know?" we will discuss Blog Messages!! After seeing some of the messages I thought we should visit this area.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Links</span></span> - I see a lot of links in blogs that are not clickable links. The easiest way to make a link clickable in the blogs is to type the name of the link in the editor window, highlight it and you will notice that the two icons next to the anchor in the tool bar have become active. Click the little chain link icon and then past the url in. Your highlighted text is now a link!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Pictures</span></span> - If you have the url for a picture like www.mixposure.com/picture.jpg you can place the cursor in the editor and click the picture icon next to the smilie face. Paste the link in and you are all set. From here, you can also resize the image if it is too large!!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">YouTube and other Videos</span></span> - I see this all of the time. People trying to add youtube clips or other video embed codes and just can't get it to work. For youtube there are two options. The first being to click the youtube icon and pasting the video id. This is the alpha-numeric code that looks like xvg4ye7j. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">The other is using the full embed code. For this type of code, click the HTML box on the top left of the toolbar. This will open a new window. Paste the full embed code in here and click update. Do not be surprised if you do not see the video in the editor. Submit your message and you will see the video in the blog!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">I hope this helps!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Dazed</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></p>

Holley - for you tube make sure you use the embed code or just the id. If using the embed code you have to click the HTML box and paste it in there or you can use just the ID and click the youtube icon from the blog like - 0mwiURyX2B4 vs the entire embed code below.
Yes this is very helpful.. but when I went to add the you tube videos I got some funky looking boxes on my blog? what woud cause that??
Good stuff. Though I am an expert already:)
Thanks Justin! I was hoping someone could get some use from this!
This was extremely helpful! I'm still struggling with navigating around and getting things to work, without trying everything I can click on to get it to work...thank you.
