Question for Dr. Reid!!!

If you can help me with this burning question, that would be glorious. It relates to another class -- Evolution of Writing -- but it's still "writing in cyberspace," no? :-)

I am currently making a webpage on Dreamweaver, and I want to insert a movie clip from YouTube and have it play right there on the page. I have seen you do this on several occasions. I embedded the link that YouTube gave, and a box shows up, but the box turns white when I press Play. I think I'm supposed to upload some applications and the like, but my experimenting has so far proved fruitless. So therefore...what do I do?

THANK YOU!

well, let's see. If you go to a video on YouTube, on that page you can copy the embed tag that you need to put on in the HTML on your page.

The other thing is to make sure the video is still there. Sometimes videos get taken down so an old link might not work anymore.

I hope that helps.
