How to post video on my Yahoo! 360, if that's possible?

It used to be easy, but it takes additional steps because of a site-wide glitch involving flash-based objects in the blog (i.e. videos, photo slideshows, music players, and various other widgets) that started at the end of September 2008. Unless a user creates a workaround for the issue, then you can't post a widget in a Yahoo! 360 blog entry. A blog entry is the only location that an embedded video can be placed. For some older entries, you can click on the "Comment" link below the entry to see some embedded objects. You can read more details of my initial conclusions at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERf... .

Luckily, there have been some 360 users working on solutions for various media. Your remaining options for using video in a 360 space are as follows:

- You can provide a link to the song page or music video page via your blast or blog (or any other area that allows a URL).

- You can embed a YouTube, Google video, or Yahoo! Video in a blog entry after adjusting the code. Here are the options, thanks to three 360 members:

1) A simple deletion of parts of the YouTube video embed code works. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERf... for details.

2) See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERf... and http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERf... for details on how to convert code for YouTube and Google videos using MY360MI conversion tools. They recently added a tool for Yahoo! Video as well.

3) Create an account on myYearbook.com (http://myyearbook.com/ ), go to the video section of the site (also located in the bottom center of your profile page), search for the video (or upload the code for one), and use the converted embed code from that site in the "View HTML Source" version of your 360 blog entry. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6fLRvC60pERf... for details.

NOTE: The Y!360 team is no longer addressing bug reports, as it prepares to launch an universal profile system (UPS). This transition was announced in October 2007 and the UPS actually started in a rudimentary beta form on October 16, 2008. The Y!360 part of the system hasn't been transferred over fully yet.

- See blogs at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space. You can post complaints on their blog, but don't expect a personal response.
