Don't Forget To Embed Those Goodies!

Just quickly want to mention something that I have recently begun using much more than before; The opportunity to find enjoyable material on the web and embed it in your blog post.

So easy, can be done really fast - and the reader's enjoy it! A win/win situation - especially if you are short on time (like we all seem to be these days).

Here is how you do it:

1. Find the embeddable object (for me it's mostly been movie trailers and free online games)
2. Mark and copy the provided HTML code
3. Open the HTML of your post (here at Blogger you choose "Edit HTML" when you are writing your post).
4. Simply paste the code where you want the object to be and you're done.

Things to keep in mind is that you should find an embeddable object of the right size for your blog. Usually there are some different sizes to choose from. And - as always - that you don't overdo it. Consider the amount of loading time for the object as well and don't replace your writing entirely with free content. Find a balance.

Good luck on making your blog more attractive by adding embeddable content. If you find handling snippets of HTML tricky, just let me know and I'll help you out or write a more thorough tutorial on how you edit the HTML code of your posts.

Will finish this post with an example of what such an embedded object might look like. Before that I just want to say

MERRY CHRISTMAS
and
HAPPY BLOGGING!
