I wrote "If the California Cows Relocated to Columbus" for ColumbusBestBlog.com, my other blog. I could not post the YouTube to my WordPress.org blog. I tried and tried but could not so I posted it to my third blog, Discover Columbus, a RealTown Blog. I am not going to give a link to Discover Columbus because that blog has juice suddenly! Whatever RealTown did to the urls it worked. Of course it would be great with all that traffic if the images weren't red x's and if the links worked. Discover Columbus has had a long tradition of cow posts because people sometimes call Columbus a cowtown.
I wrote on Discover Columbus (well actually I wrote it on ColumbusBestBlog.com just couldn't publish it there... with the cow commercials):
"If California cows relocated to Ohio from expensive California markets they could probably buy up a lot of land somewhere in many of the Central Ohio counties including Delaware, Licking, Madison, Fairfield. Yes it is not as sunny here as California but land prices are much more reasonable, that should make for bovine bliss.
There are cows right in Columbus but they are part of the Ohio State University, in fact I sold a house near one of the OSU herds to a couple from California... people not cows. He was originally from Ohio, not Columbus but she is from L.A originally."
Yes we do have cow herds in Columbus because of OSU Ag School. There is a dairy cow herd and a beef cow herd in northwest Columbus.
I should not like the California Happy Cows commercials but I do. The commercials make it seem as if Midwestern cows should be UnHappy about the weather! They also stereotype Midwestern cows as all talking like the cows do in Fargo North Dakota and Minnesota.
Here's a little example of stereotyping of Midwestern cows, notice the snow.... here's a Midwestern cow relocating to California. Hope "Sadie" checked out prices and conditions before she set out on the journey...
If anyone in the ActiveRain WordPress group can give some hints on posting YouTube to WordPress.org blogs I am all ears. Carole Cohen in Cleveland posted an itty bitty pig YouTube video on ActiveRain. To me Cincinnati is pigs, not Cleveland.
I've posted a number of videos to the blog before but could not do the one yesterday. I have a number of videos on it. When I copied the entry from CBB to the Discover Columbus Blog, I actually had two videos because I copy and pasted the text and code in. So the code was right. I must have changed something on my WP.org blog at some point.
I deleted it and tried over a bunch of times. It is on, debuting tommorrow... I hope I probably should have just published it today now that I think about it. I write most things on both of my blogs ahead and publish them to the future. I started thinking that was the problem and then I saved it for tomorrow out of force of habit and because I published something today. Thanks for the tutorial. No difference in what I was doing that I can discern.
Gosh you have a lot more buttons on your WYSIWYG editor than I have... on my dashboard... upgraded version? Thanks for all your help.
