John Edwards is feeling pretty




First posted on my old Yahoo 360 blog Tuesday June 5, 2007 - 03:28pm (CDT)




Yes, I'm relocating content from Livejournal, starting with this short piece posted to Youtube by OneoftheImmortals.















Mildly amusing, and an opportunity for Edwards to show a lot more class than some of his semi-anonymous detractors, which he did. (Video posted by wnycradio).















But that I could say the same of the Livejournal community, where I first posted this, but ... oh, forget it. If you wanted to post a film on YouTube on your own 360 blog, or any other site for that matter, here's the code that I used to post the first film, which I found floating around somewhere:

The first film is found at this url on Youtube

so if you have a film at location


http://youtube.com/watch?v=ID


where "ID" is some alphanumeric string, and you replace "2AE847UXu3Q" with the string (in the url for the film you want) in the code above, you should get a code snippet that will allow you to insert the film of your choice on the page of your choice. Livejournal, Blogger and a few other blogging hosts seem to require special coding, though, so check with YouTube's site about that if you wish to post a film to another blog hosting service.
