How to add video to my parent profile or blog entry?

This how to guide does not cover making, editing or uploading the video to YouTube.com that is covered at www.google.com/support/youtube

After you have uploaded your video to YouTube.com you will see a link called URL.

Youtube URL

Copy the URL to your clip board.

Edit or create your blog/parent profile.

New blog entry

Once you have the cursor where you want the video, select the red YouTube icon from the tool bar.

Paste the URL into the pop-up. It must be in the following format. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crk97pLTFzg and press Insert.

Do I need to create or own the video I want to use it in my blog or profile?

No. Feel free to link to any video you want in your blog.

For example, in your blog you could write about how crazy the world is and use this video as a example.

Yes. If the video is being used as your parent profile.

Can I use video hosting services such as Google or Metacafe?

Yes, you may use whoever you want unless they play advertisements before your clip that ParentGallery deems inappropriate. Just use the embedded code offered by most video services. ParentGallery will be adding official support for other video services soon.

Why is my video disappearing or not playing?

If YouTube is having problems, then the video will not appear in the post. This is only temporary and you do not need to do anything to correct the problem.
