Need Help - How do you insert you tube videos into a blog?

I have found several videos found on youtube that I feel are very good information for Active Rain members. I would like to know how you insert a youtube video into a blog on AR. I have seen that these videos are allowed to be shared, but I am not sure how to insert them. I would appreciate any help I could get from Active Rain Members.

To answer your question; just embed the link of the video in an HTML editor like FrontPage, etc. and the video will show up on a web page or blog. I am sure that there are some very experienced people here in The Rain- that have blogged about the procedure in more detail.

I found a site that walked me thru it and I got one completed. However now when I look at it my text of the message is all run together. No paragraphs, indents or writing structure, do you know how I can fix this?

Youtube gives you "Embed code" that you can cut and paste directly into a blog. It is html and creates a little screen in your posting.
