Ning: Adding a YouTube Video to Your Profile

When you first go to your Profile page ("My Page"), you will see a box where you can add text, images, links - whatever you want! Just click on Edit to get started.


You can follow the instructions for adding text, images, and links just like for blog posts, and you can also include a YouTube video in the box if you want!

To add a YouTube video, you will need to copy the "embed" code from the YouTube video page (or you can copy it from the YouTube video itself). Here is what the embed code looks like in the right-hand column of a typical YouTube video page:

To see the results, just click Save!

You can edit the contents of the box as often as you want, making changes or additions any time!
