			==Embedding Videos==

			Videos add dynamic motion and audio to the blog post experience. Because it takes a long time to upload a video file directly into the blog post, it's a good idea to "embed" the video from another website that has the video already uploaded on their server hardware; this way, the blog post viewer loads the video from the external website's servers.

			Youtube is a popular video hosting website. To embed a video from Youtube's servers, go to a Youtube video webpage like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILxjxfB4zNk this one].

			Then click "Share", then "Embed", then copy the embed code.
