07 EMBED VIDEO 200x112 Embedding VideoEmbedding a video on a Post or Page of your website is very easy. It’s different from uploading an image, however, in that the media is not located at your own server, on your website, but actually “served” from another place on the internet, like YouTube’s servers or another video hosting service.

The easiest way to embed video on your own site is to first upload your video to a video hosting service, such as YouTube or Vimeo.com. Once your video has been uploaded and converted successfully, it can be embedded within a post or page on your site with just a couple of clicks!

Covered in this video:

  • Best practices for inserting video into your site.
  • Using Auto-Embed to easily embed videos and other content with just a couple of clicks.
  • Embedding other types of content, besides video.

08 MEDIA LIBRARY 200x112 Using the Media LibraryThis video shows how the media library is used to organize images and other media, upload new media, and tag or attach media to posts or pages, through the Media Library interface, available in the WordPress dashboard.

In this video, we’ll examine how to use the Media Library to manage uploaded files, and upload other file types (such as PDFs or Word documents) for use in future posts or pages.

The Media Library sub-panel allows you edit, delete or view media previously uploaded to your blog. Multiple media objects can be bulk-edited or deleted, and you can search or filter results to find the desired media file.

You can also use the built-in Image Editor to crop, rotate, or flip images you’ve previously uploaded.
