A few days ago I wrote a post on St Michaels, MD and wanted to include a video, however, I couldn't figure out how. Steve Hoffacker surprised me yesterday, when he called me and offered his help. He walked me through all steps I needed to follow to embed the video into my post.
Thank you so much, Steve, for taking your time to help me. You are a great instructor - here is the video.
"During the War of 1812, St. Michaels gained its name as "the town that fooled the British".The residents of St. Michaels, having been forewarned that British barges were positioned on the waters to attack with cannon fire, hoisted lanterns into the trees above the city. This first successful "blackout" fooled the British into overshooting the town's houses and shipyards. Only one house, forever since known as Cannonball House, was struck."
