You Tube Clips

[maggiebee]

Always play the clips from Mamya and others and enjoy the range of music chosen. One question though - how do you post a You Tube clip on to this site? Never done it before and don't know how!

Just copy the link (right click the link in YouTube and choose Copy) then put your cursor on the box above this one where it says "Enter YouTube Link here" and right click mouse again and choose "Paste" - best of luck Maggie! BTW you can comment aswell as the YouTube link in the usual comment box.

The ed made it easier, maggie. When you find your video on YouTube, copy the text from the address bar (Should be at the top of your browser page) and paste it in the main text box. should work thusly.....

[ummmm]

But doesn't always work judge...

I just use the YouTube link box - it seems so easy on mine, perhaps others don't have the same layout ...

[Stephen_G]

I think that's got something to do with the embed code (I'm not that technically minded).

You've got to make sure that when you paste the text from YouTube that there aren't any spaces - that really fudges things up.

That's just a jpeg, maggie. A still image file. The text you want should look like this (Without the gaps)

I always find its worth cutting and pasting the link with the video playing. Seems to work for me.
