The Learning Process

Technology in general, just like many things in life, is about trial and errors. I have been blogging for sometime. However, knowledge is a chaotic, non-linear process. I have been struggling with posting videos to my wordpress blog. After almost two weeks of receiving help from my BaW07  and B4B  friends I finally managed to post this video on how to blog. I am a big fan of wordpress and thought the placing this video on how to blog on wordpress would be a form of paying a tribute to this wonderful blog host. My preference for wordpress has a lot to do with the fact of being the one I first used as a part of my experience in the Hornby Summer in
Sorocaba in January 2006. In addition to that, I would like to share with you what I have learned about how to post a video to wordpress or edublogs . If you want to post a  youtube, daily motion or any other video, these blog hosts will ask for the video id. The video id is what comes after value, so you will have to look for the code to embed the video. You can now copy and paste the code to your editing box. Once you have done that, you have to look for the value (generally a bunch of letters like MMYi4_COZMO not immediately after the word value) this is the only thing you will have to keep plus the video site name. In your editing box you will have to leave youtube id=MMM.. enclosed by brackets [ ]. The video I posted above is a very comprehensive one.  Mr Abraham does give clear instructions on posting and managing your wordpress blog. However, posting a video seems to be the trickiest part. I hope these guidelines help you out in posting a video.
