Embedding videos



Embedding video is one tool to enhance your blog. About.com blogger Marziah Karch explains how you embed video from YouTube by writing:

"YouTube has all sorts of interesting, funny, silly, and provocative content. One of the most appealing things about YouTube is how easy it is to share this content with others. You can easily embed any video on YouTube into your own blog. Here's how you do it."

Well embedding a video into a webpage is fairly simply with youtube as they basically give you the HTML which you can copy and paste to do it. The real question is, is it possible to modify aspects of the video on your website, external of youtube. As I see, it seems that every embedded youtube video is the same size but what if you need the window to be smaller, or have a different aspect ratio?

Also, perhaps using things such as CSS to enhance the area around the video as currently with just videos posted it looks incredibly crowded on the website. The more videos you have, the more crowded the website will end up looking! Anyways, your blog is looking pretty cool so far!
