Two Tutorial Tuesday???

OH. MY. GOD.

Esme has learned how to add a video to her blog. It would appear, and you could look at this as another tutorial, that what you do is this.

  1. Find a video somewhere.
  2. Take this one for example, also from YouCanMakeThis.com:
  3. Select it (Esme found it easiest to select the last word before it and the first word after it and paste the whole thing, like this:

    Keep reading! :)
  4. Here’s a few more photos so you can see the details!

  5. Go to your blog, without stopping to copy something else on the way like Esme did the first time
  6. Open a new post
  7. Hit ctrl-v and by some miracle of nature the video will appear. Unless it doesn't and a bunch of letters and symbols show up instead. In that case, publish your post then look at it. You may be surprised to find that those letters and symbols have blossomed into a video!!! If, on the other hand, you find that the letters and symbols just made a mess, then you'll want to go to a blog where they know what they're doing because Esme just got lucky on this one...
ps: ignore that #4 next to the video. Esme still hasn't figure out how to avoid having new numbers pop up when she doesn't want them to, or how to eliminate them once they're there... Be patient. She'll catch on eventually.

pps: also, please ignore the fact that this post should really come after the other one. Why does the darned internet have to do everything backwards? Who thought that was a good idea? Al Gore?

Thanks again to YouCanMakeThis.com for their generosity! Now I've got to go find one of those craft store glass blocks so I can put a picture of my mother in it then fill it with rocks...
