In this post, I will share with you how you can embed a YouTube video in your blog post or anywhere else. It is absolutely possible to embed any size of YouTube video in your blog or site, provided there is an html compose option. its not difficult to get this done as long as the video is available on YouTube streaming website.

This tutorial works for both Blogger and WordPress and all sites which accept iframe tags... Enjoy!


Embedding Youtube Videos

° First thing first, visit YouTube and get you
search for the video you want embeshare

  YouTube
° Click to view the video, now, there are option just below the video, click on share

YouTube
° There are 3 options, Share, Embed and Email, click Embed, then select and Copy the code, displayed in a box for you.

° Once you've copied the code, go to your blogger blog post, select the HTML compose option, then scroll to where you wish to Embed the youtube video on your blogger post
The code looks like this
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CCuiIHJLUGc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Note; the width and height is customizable, you will have to change it to your preferred width and height so the video can fit in to your blog. 
This customization is important if you don't want the video clustering or overlapping your contenit'sdepending on the width of your blog.

You will notice from the code above that the width is "560" the height is "315" so, you should customize the width especially depending on the width of where it is being embedded, you can't embed the video with the width above on location with 540 as its width because, it will overlap the contents on the blog and you wouldn't want that. To get a perfect fitting, you will have to reduce the width and height as follows,

Width " 500 " while Height " 290".

This way it will be smaller than the default screen size to properly fit into the blog contents. 
You can always try this out to know if you got the tutorial...

Discovering Infolinks I found out about infolinks while searching for AdSense alternatives when I was unable to get AdSense approved for my account, Then I applied with my previous blog but darn, the blog probably did not meet their demands and I was never approved. Few months laters I got AdSense approved for my blog but that didn't live long enough, to my detriment and after been blown off by the infamous Adsense Disablement ish (made me ditch my previous blog)... Months after setting up my new blog, I had to look for an AdSense alternative, and every research I made, didn't exclude Infolinks, and this made me think highly of them and so I had to give an application another shot, this time within a day, I got approved to display ads on my blog... Bam! Such a nice achievement... Getting To Understa...
