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...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: 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 l...
