Are you baffled?

It appears some people may be baffled about {oh dear, what to do now?--Oh yes, find more words to end the sentence} where to put a code on your Post.

You have the perfect Youtube video. But you are lost!

You wrote about the video and explained everything!!! But*#&^#, how and where do I put the embedded video on my Website Post?

Here is the short answer I just learned from a friend here in the community. I do not remember his name, but he had a video that explained how to find the place to put the code for the Video.

This is his lesson.

1. After you have your Post article, go to the edit.

2. Find the place where you want to put the Video.

3. Put down any numbers that you like. I personally use the 9's. 9999999999999 Any number will do just fine.

4. 9999999999999999---That is where you are going to put the video. It is right after a word. That is okay.

5. Go to the text {next to the visual on the top right.

6. After clicking the text, look for your number--mine is 99999999

7. You will see the 9's easily. Delete the number. CAREFUL. Go slowly near the end.

8. You want to delete the last number, but remember where it is. Why? This is where you copied the embedded code from the shared movie you just chose. (Reminder, did you unclick that first a last block)

9. Print the code where the last number was located.

10. Go back to visual and you will find the movie just where you wanted it.

"Wait a minute. How do you center a video. I want all my videos at the same place every time I put a video in my Post articles. I think the center of the article is the best."

Instead of giving directions, I will just demonstrate. When you are in the text mode to print the embedded code, you will see something like this.

<iframe da de da de da iframe>

Some of these code words are short and some can be quite long. You are looking for your code you just embedded and copied on text. It always begins and ends with iframe.

I want to mention here that I did not originate this lesson. Someone else in the community did and if I knew the name, I would have that person do his lesson again. I apologize, but too many people need this instruction and the community member did it so well.

I want you to think "opposite". < > These are opposite. iframe is opposite: one is at the beginning and the other iframe is at the end.

I am going to add these symbols and please pay attention to where I put them and they will in turn be opposite.

<center><iframe da da da--------------iframe><center>

So again, always think, opposite.

Now, I must go. Suki is jealous. He wants attention. He understands many words and when I come home I say, "hi" and he says, "hi" back. We both say, "good by".
