Highlight this code and copy/paste it into 'Notepad'; save it as 'VidCodeConv.txt'. You can now use this as a template.

How to post a video:
- Copy/paste the template into the blog or forum.
- Locate the video on Youtube.
- With the video running, Right Click on the video.
- Click on Copy Embed HTML.
- Now paste the iframe code into the blog or forum.
- Locate the File Name in the iframe code, highlight it and hit copy.
- Paste the File Name into the template where it says, "**FileName**".
- Delete the iframe code.
Alternatively, you can copy/paste the last eleven characters of the short URL into the template.
Notice I didn't include the "height" parameter in the template; it is not necessary because the video file contains the "aspect ratio" information; your browser will calculate the height.
