How to find and incorporate the latest music videos on your blog or MySpace profile


In this article, I intend to show how easy it is to put video from a variety of sources in your blog or MySpace profile.

Digital video is definitely one of the best things to happen to the web and the success and growth of YouTube is proof of this. As a long time web developer, I remember the days before you can insert video into a web page and you had to have the best animated gifs to jazz is your website! It seems pretty sad, but we had to make do!

Content embedded video is intended to be the focal point of a web page, so you need not to focus too much on the web page design as much as you would have had in the past. Take for example YouTube, have the largest archive of video content built around the world but their website design is virtually nonexistent. Six members of their care? No, because the user experience is everything to watch the video and not to admire the design surrounding the video.

You want a piece of that pie? Come on ...

Phase 1 - find some videos to incorporate
Do a search engine search for "video urban" or "porn" or "video code" or something as such. Find a site that offers free viewing of video and has an "embed" listed with each video, then take the next step.

STEP 2 - get the code to embed this video
Once you find the video you want to embed and has an "embed" in with it, you'll notice that the code begins with a tag or html tags. You do not need to know HTML to use this html code in order to select the embed code right-click/apple-click and then select "Copy" to copy it to clipboard.

STEP 3 - put the video on your blog
I presume that the majority of people use Blogger (Blogspot), Wordpress or MySpace for their blogs ... So go ahead and access the administration section of your blog where you create new posts or edit existing blog posts. Click on "create a new blog post" option (or something similar depending on your blog). Most blog sites allow you to view / edit the HTML of your blog post on how to choose the "view html" option, then right-click/apple-click in the content of the blog and choose "paste" to paste the embed code in the blog post. Now select "edit mode" (or something like that) and you will see a pattern in which the video will be displayed, now add text to your blog post and click on "public" or "post" to finish creating the new blog post with embedded video!

STEP 4 - put the video on your MySpace profile
Log into your MySpace account and click on "edit profile". You want the video to appear on a central part of your profile so click on "Edit Bio" to add this video to your bio. While editing your bio, remember that you still have the embed code copied to the clipboard. Click on the area of ​​your bio, where you want the video to appear right-click/apple-click and then select "Paste" to paste the embed code in your bio. Save the changes, see your profile and there you go, the video is now embedded in your MySpace profile! ......
