HOW TO POST VIDEOS (EFHeather)


12 Steps for embeding videos into blog posts:

*You can only upload saved files from your computer.

1. Find a video on YouTube you like.

2. Copy the url (not the web address) of the video. This video url was found on the Google search page in green text font underneath the video's description. You could also navigate to the actual YouTube webpage and find it in the "embed" box on the right side. Our example looks like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fVDGu82FeQ

3. Open a new web page: "vixy.net"

4. Paste the saved url in to the only box available. (Be sure that what you paste looks like the example directly below the web box. Usually you have to replace "www" with "http://". Our example now looks like: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-fVDGu82FeQ

5. Select the format you want. The default,.avi, is already what we want.

6. Click start. It will convert the original .flv format to .avi format.

*If the converting stops and says there is an error, you probably messed up in inputing it at first. No problem. Just open a new webpage to vixy.net and try again.

7. When it's done converting, it will ask you to save it somewhere to you hardrive. Go ahead and choose to save it somewhere you can easily find it again. Your desktop is easiest if you're going to delete the video after you upload it to your blog.

8. Once it is saved, you can choose to "add video" from your "new post" page on your blog by clicking the button on the top right that looks like a film strip. It's just to the right of the add photo button.

9. Click "Browse" and locate the saved file.

10. Once you've located the file, click it and select "open"

11. Finally, add a video title and check the box at the bottom and click "Upload"

12. All the need information will automatically be copied to where your cursor is on the "new post" preview page. If you want to move its location, just cut and paste everything inside the "<,>".

    So he was concerned about a speck of blood on his brother's cheek and peeved that his dad did not share his distress! That can really ruin a guy's day!

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

Werewolves: Variation on Mafia, the Group Game

I was first introduced to Mafia in 1995 at a Family Home Evening activity. With only 6-players in our family, we selected one Narrator, two Mafia gangsters (murder one person/night), one Detective (ask the narrator about the identity of one person/round), and sometimes we played with a Guardian Angel (who can save one person/round); everyone else were innocent citizens. THE WEREWOLVES OF MILLERS HOLLOW Review and Detailed Explanation Werewolves is essentially the same game. I played it on Monday night for an FHE activity as well. We played 2 games with 10 and 11 players respectively. Each game lasted about 10-20 minutes. IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN! I can totally see my immediate family enjoying some of the new rules associated with Werewolves . Here is a list of differences between my family's version of Mafia and the way we played it last night. Three main differences 1. New Characters 2. Voting is performed by pointing. (Much more efficient.) 3. The game is pla...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist. I've got no funk. And I’m pretty crossed up about it. In my personal quest to discover the funk I came across this bit featuring Old Gregg from The Mighty Boosh. Old Gregg observed that some groups have it for a time, and when they do, they produce timeless hits. He identified that special  something as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Disclaimer: This is weird. Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're like a breadstick. You got no rhythm. Howard: Yeah, well I've heard all this sort of stuff before thank you. Old Gregg: Well maybe I could help you. I got the funk. Howard: Yea...
