How to Embed your YouTube Video into your Website
This explains the steps for taking your video located on YouTube and placing it
on your website. There are 2 ways to do it.
First go to your video page on Youtube

This is a sample for this clip of Joan.
Check for the link URL and Embedded,
marked by me in red.
Go to this
Youtube web page to see what it looks like.
This is what the code looks like for this page.
URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IF-Kq_rkyQ
EMBED:
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1IF-Kq_rkyQ">
</param><param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1IF-Kq_rkyQ"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425"
height="350">
</embed>
</object>
You now need to go to your video clip webpage and do the same.
1. To make a link to the Youtube video page just add the URL to your webpage as a hyperlink.
2. Or you can embed the video directly into your webpage.
For embedded, Take the code and place it in your website.. See below.
You can change the object width and height (marked by me in red).. making it
smaller makes the video smaller and sharper.. see below.
