8th grade - Animoto and Your Blog

You can add your newly created Animoto video to your blog.  Just follow these steps carefully:

1. Sign into Animoto and bring up your video.

2. Open the toolbox.

3. Click on "Embed", choose the size you want, and copy the code you see in the window. (You may have to experiment with the size.  For this blog, I had to use the smallest size in order to make the video completely visible on my blog.)
4. Open the post you want to put the video on or start a new post.

5. Click on "Edit HTML" and position your cursor on the blog where you want the video to go.

6. Do a right click paste.

7. Type in the text that you want to accompany your video.

The only way that you can view your blog with video is to actually publish it. If you aren't pleased with the way it looks, click on customize and edit the post until you have it the way you want it.
