Adding a YouTube video to your blog is not as hard as you may think. This article discusses how to add YouTube to your blog as well as reasons why it’s beneficial to include video.
Find Your Video
If you are taking something from the YouTube website, then you will want to look at the different videos so you can find something that will work for you and the blog you are putting together. You can use one you created or one that is found by you and that fits.
Coding
When you add a video to your website, you can use the coding that is available at YouTube. All you need is to copy the embed source code beneath the video and then paste into a post or the sidebar of the blog.
Benefits Of Adding A Video
There are some worthwhile benefits to adding video to your blog. The biggest is to break up the writing on a page. If you are writing most of your own content, it may get hard and you may get tired. You also may bore your readers with a bunch or words and nothing fun to look at.
Adding a video can make your blog really look fun and inviting. There is something about colorful media alongside print that brings energy and excitement to your site. Its no coincidence that some of the most successful blogs have videos and pictures all over them. Take the time to really look at the video you are adding so you get what you want and your blog still looks fun and professional.
If your blog doesn’t really call for video, try posting pictures instead. I’ve done this with my womens coats blog and my student desk blog with a lot of success in getting people to stay longer on my sites.
