--Return to the Writer Thing List
When you find videos on a site like YouTube to share with others on your blog, and perhaps use to make a point with comments, there are some options. Include a link to the video. You could also embed the video into your blog (as you've seen throughout this Writer 23 Blog experience) with your comments right next to it. Sometimes you want to download a copy because the video is blocked from playing on the website. Third-party sites, like Zamzar, and software can enable you to do this. Let's explore these options.
To complete Thing 10 you must:
A. Embed a video into your blog
B. Download a video
C. Reflect on Thing 10 on your blog
Video 1: Embed Video
Review this video on how to embed one of your own. Then do so with your reflection for Thing 10.
Video 2: Download Video pt. 1
Videos cannot be downloaded directly from YouTube, or most other video sharing sites. There are third-party sites that can do the job. Download a video using one of the tools shown here. Please be mindful of copyright laws. Review Fair Use guidelines for appropriate usage beyond your private viewing. Fair Use does not allow uploading the downloaded video file to other sites.
KeepVid or PWNYouTube
Video 3: Download Video pt. 2
Another way to download is through a third party site: Zamzar. This video will help.

Add comments to the video you embedded. Why did you select it? Were you also able to download a video? How might videos support your writing and/or self-marketing?
