Thing # 18 I can YouTube too!

I've been watching videos, videos, and more videos. I've learned how to have smokey eyes watching a video by Sephora makeup. I've learned how to stuff a turkey, and how to become a ninja...pretty funny, long story. I think I've learned how to embed a video onto your wordpress blog, and hopefully on your blogger account. It was great going back in time to watch the Ty-d-bowl man yahchting around the toilet tank, oh those were the days :)


So my video of choice was a cute and educational video by Animaniacs. How great for teachers to introduce a very dull subject. The hyper animaniacs singing the names of the countries as fast as lightening..so hopefully my youtube tutorial will work...


OK...just a couple of lessons from this experience. The first video I embedded from youtube was great and it worked..BUTwhat I did not notice until I was watching it with my 11 year old son was the little cursor permanently etched into the corner of the screen was in the position of giving everyone the finger!! So needless to say my "cute" video was more than a little inappropriate. I had to go back and delete that html and re-copy the same video from a different source. I am still a little unhappy with this one because if you scroll through the selections that are also offered by this contributor..there is a video about Godzilla..who cares. I only wanted the animaniacs video but I got more than I bargained for.

Well I'm out for the night..I'm YouTubed out.
