    You can embed videos from YouTube, Google Video, or Yahoo Video in a blog entry.

    For YouTube:

    On the right side of the videos on YouTube, you'll see "Embed".. copy the HTML tag that starts with "<object width">.

    When you go to edit or compose a blog entry:

    1. Check the box near "View HTML source" [it's under the white text area/left side of your page]

    2. Paste the HTML tag from YouTube into the text area

    3. Add text and preview. If the code is right, the video will show up in Preview.

    This website gives you directions on how you can place videos from YouTube, Yahoo Video, and Google Video to your blog:

    To add more pictures to a blog entry:

    First, create an account at the file-hosting website. http://photobucket.com/ or http://imageshack.us/ or http://www.fileden.com/

    Upload the pictures to your account. Then, get the URLs of the pictures (after you've uploaded a picture, the site will provide the URL - it should end with "jpeg," "gif" or "bmp.") or you can right-click on the image >select 'Properties' and copy the picture's URL.

    When you go to compose a blog, first check the "View HTML source" box (on the left/below the white text area).

    Paste the picture's URL into the HTML tag below:

    <img src="URLofpictureHERE" alt="Image" alt="Image" />

    -Then, paste the HTML tag into the white text area and add text.

    Preview (it'll show up in preview if it's correct)
