#20 You too can YouTube
December 14, 2008 at 11:34 pm 3 comments
YouTube is one of the most popular video hosting sites, allowing users to upload their own video content and embed clips into their own sites.
Do some searching around YouTube and see what the site has to offer. You’ll find everything from 1970s TV commercials to library dominoes. Of course, like any free site, you’ll also find a lot stuff not worth watching. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t explore and see for yourself what the site has to offer.
Discovery Exercise:
- Explore YouTube & find a video worth adding as an entry in your blog.
- Explore the CCLS YouTube page, which includes the entries for our YouTube contest.
- Write a blog post about your experience. What did you like or dislike about the site? Do you see how libraries might use YouTube?

How do I add a video to my blog from You Tube? The Help system in You Tube says you can’t download videos from You Tube.

1506nix: WordPress has a nice tutorial on how to link YouTube videos. Click on the Help tab on your dashboard and choose WordPress.com Support. Search YouTube and you will find the instructions.
