Knowing My Blog - Create Your Blog with WordPress

When we say "to embed a video," we are talking about inserting a video into a post or a page on our site. To embed a video from Google Video on a post or page of our blog, first of all we have to have installed a plugin called "Vipers-Video-Quicktags" which will be able to download from the WordPress plugin directory .

Once activated the plugin, we are apt to insert a video in our post or page and we will see below the menu of tools that we use daily to create our articles, see a series of icons with which we can embed the videos, depends of where they are located such videos.

In this case we will embed a video from Google Video, so first visualize what the button for Google, as is seen in the following image :

Now, we headed to the site of Google Video and look for the video we would like to embed. Once located the video, Google will show on the right side of the screen. We will position ourselves with the mouse on the video box and press the right mouse button and choose "Copy embed html".

Back to our WordPress admin, and now I pressed the button for Google Video, which will show the following:

In the picture we see there, we just have to paste the address we have previously copied and ready. A box with orange background which belongs to the video, but from here we can not see it. If you press the button "Preview" found right within the "Publish", do a preview of what it looks like our post , and yes there is we may see our video.

If you press the arrow that is next to "Dimensions", we can vary the dimensions of the video before you embed it, since the dimensions that appear by default are "width: 400 height: 326" and we may need to adapt to the measures of our site.

I hope it was easy to understand.
