• Videos on Your Xanga Site

  I found an interesting link of how a person can put a youtube video on their xanga site.  It was posted on techcrunch.com.  According to them, all you have to do is go to youtube and pick out your favorite video.  Copy the addy.  Then past the addy into the box on this site:  Link  Then hit “get video.” 

  Then in about two seconds, you will hear a noise.  Then scroll down the right scroll bar and hit “download link.”  Then a little pop up will ask you what you want to do next.  You will want to hit “save.”  This saves it to your computer.  You will want to save it to your video and remember where you saved it too.  For example, I would save it to the “my video” section on my computer.

  After I hit save, it will ask you what the file name should be.  You will want to give it a name.  For example, say it is a video about my dog “poopster.”  I will save it as “poopster.flv”  You should add the .flv at the end because it is called a file extention.  It allows you to upload it later.  So no matter what you call the video when you are saving it, make sure you add “.flv” to the end.  For example, if the video is about your cat “tomcat,” you should save it as “tomcat.flv”

  The next step is to go to your site.  You should hit “Upload video.”  Then you hit the browse button.  This is where it is important to know where you saved it.  You pull up the video.  And you save the upload it.  Give it a few minutes to upload and you are done.
