I am trying to add a video from YouTube and I don't know how. I read the post on widgets and the instruction that said to "go to the yellow (A) box" except that I have no idea where the A box is. I tried to use the "add media" function using the URL for the video but that did not work. Help! I am completely lost. I am trying to add a video from YouTube and I don’t know how.

However, I'm having a really hard time adapting my widgets to my blogs design. For example: 1. I added a "Quote of the Day" using the "text" form the page brainyquotes.com. But the text they give there is set for a typeface and format that doesn't exactly fit in my blog. They explain something in the site about modifying the java script or something like that but I just couldn't work it out. I followed the steps you explain for embedding a Google calendar but still isn't good. Can you help me with this? 2. I have problems using the "categories" widget as it doesn¿t really show my categories. Why is that? I can perfectly see the categories when posting a message. I really thank you in advance and hope not to take so much of your time... Great to know you're there! thx :) Virginia Hi Susan, as always, very useful information on this post.

How did this happen? Are we not able to embed video clips from TeacherTube? if so, how? I haven't been able to make it work. Also, when I include links to websites in my post (and the html code is correct) the links are colored blue and underlined in my visual editor, but when I save the page, the links do not show up-they look like regular text unless you happen to mouse over them..what am I doing wrong? thanks.
