    There is an increasing interest in videos on-line. Consider ADDING one to your website.

    1. How do I put a video on my LionWAP page?
    2. How do I add a video from Yahoo Video?
    3. How do I add a video from YouTube?
    4. How do I tell people about my video?
    1. How do I put a video on my LionWAP page? - Top

    Upload a video that is less than 10 minutes at YouTube.com or video.yahoo.com for free.

    After that video has been uploaded, test it to ensure that it plays correctly. One that video page, you will see simple instructions on how to add that video to your website. - Updated: April 19, 2007
    2. How do I add a video from Yahoo Video? - Top

    When you view the video at Yahoo, look for the section that says: "Add to Site:"
    Highlight the HTML code that appears in the white box next to that, and use COPY and PASTE into the Activites or Announcements section of your website. This code is too large to show in other sections of your LionWAP webpage.

    Here is an example that appears at www.lionwap.org/ctpintrading

    That code appears something like this:

    <embed src='http://us.i1.yimg.com/cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/player/media/swf/FLVVideoSolo.swf' flashvars='id=2438026&emailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.yahoo.com%2Futil%2Fmail%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26vid%3D427478&imUrl=http%253A%252F%252Fvideo.yahoo.com%252Fvideo%252Fplay%253Fei%253DUTF-8%2526vid%253D427478&imTitle=P.T.C.CT.%2B%2BLions%2BClub%2BPins&searchUrl=http://video.yahoo.com/video/search?p=&profileUrl=http://video.yahoo.com/video/profile?yid=&creatorValue=ZGFudWl0dGk%3D&vid=427478' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='425' height='350'></embed> - Updated: April 19, 2007
    3. How do I add a video from YouTube? - Top

    When you view the video at YouTube, look for the section that says: "Embed"
    Highlight the HTML code that appears in the white box next to that, and use COPY and PASTE into the Activites or Announcements section of your website. This code is too large to show in other sections of your LionWAP webpage.

    That html code appears as follows:

    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qPzSwAuQblc"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qPzSwAuQblc" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

    View that video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPzSwAuQblc - Updated: April 19, 2007
    4. How do I tell people about my video? - Top

    It is best if the video is shown directly on your web page, or as a link to the video that appears at that service's web page. That way, you can simply tell people the web page address of your club at LionWAP. That never changes, so just remind people of that address and include an announcement that a new video is available.

    If you do not tell people that your website has changed, they have no reason to look. You can create more interest in your club's web page by telling them about it. Once the fever has taken, you will still have to keep the interest up, by adding or changing another video and telling them again. After a while, you will discover that there is a great deal of interest in your club, as well as your web page project.
