I'm new on here and would love to put a couple slideshow things I made about last years relay on here, but #1, I am computer "slow" and I did try to follow some instructions I found, but alas, it didn't work. I put it on the google video, so the first problem has been solved, but when I tried to get it on here.....crash!!!
Any very patient person out there who would be willing to walk me thru the steps????
Dang. I tried it myself using the same method I used to post YouTube videos and nothing... nada... It didn't show up. I know there's a way, we just have to find it. In the mean-time, can you upload it to YouTube? Trish
Ok, I think I know what is going on, I just can't easily explain it. I CAN, however, walk you through the posting. Follow these steps.
Enter whatever text you want in the post that will contain the video.
Select "Preview".
Make sure that the text is as you want it.
Scroll down until you see the editing window.
Select the purple 'disable rich-text' link found directly under the editing window. Your text will look strange, with a lot of odd characters such as <p> and <a> etc., and all formatting will seem to disappear. Don't worry about it, it should show up fine when it posts.
Enter the video code either above or below the text you already entered.
Select "Submit".
Do NOT select preview again. Even though the video will appear in the preview, for some reason it will not post. I think it has something to do with the fact that the rich text option turns back on after you preview the post and it wipes out the code. Not sure, however.
Note: if you paste the code above the text, the text will probably form around the video to the left. If you don't want that, try posting the code after the text.
I will give it a try!! My slideshows/videos are on youtube and now on google. They're not a professional job, by any means, but they are done with love..... I'll try your suggestions and see if I can get them on here......wish me luck!!!
