I learned how to embed external resources, including videos, into my blogs and other web pages early on in this project without even realizing that it would be one of the 23 things I would be working with (See my previous entry "A Teacher's Inspiration"). The background information and instructions for Thing #20 on our site were very accurate in describing the steps necessary for embedding video on your blog or web page.
