More Videoclips from Much Ado About Nothing in Lismore Castle - and an embedded tutorial

The videoclip I included in my post on Much Ado About Nothing from Off the Ground Touring Company in Lismore Castle last week got very positive feedback from many of those commenting, so I thought I would add two more clips I uploaded to YouTube to this blog post. These are taken after nightfall, so the atmosphere is totally different to the daylight of my last post's clip.



This is a scene from the play, plenty of passion and high emotions going on here between the characters as they plot and scheme their romantic intrigues

I have only just recently learnt how to upload clips to YouTube and am pretty chuffed with my techie abilities so this is just to give me more bragging rights! Uploading takes time, much to my surprise, as I thought a clip of a minute or two would be uploaded in similar time, but no, takes about a half-hour on our broadband (maybe yours is faster, ours is about 7mb which is reasonable I believe - as I haven't a clue what that means, only that it's faster than the 3mb we had initially). You see, I discovered with the last post that I could actually embed videoclips in the body of the post, not just in the sidebar, which I had been doing.



This was the grand finale - a rousing song-and-dance routine to Anything Goes, they got the entire audience up dancing for this one in an encore and it was a great end to the evening

It's really simple, (said she with the 20-20 vision of hindsight) - all you do is copy the code from YouTube where it says embed (at the side of the clip under the description) and paste said code in the body of the text where you want the clip to appear. It only shows up in Preview mode, and all you see in the Compose window is the gobbledegooky Html code, which looks like it shouldn't be there.

Those of you who know all this can smirk smugly, and those who don't will thank me as you can now go on to embellish your blogs with your favourite videos.
