HFH discovers how to embed YouTube into blog!!

I think the cold is getting to me. -20F when I got up this morning. What the heck happened to Al Gore and his prediction of boiling oceans. Which we could use right about now. I had to plug the car in last night as to keep the oil from turning to a gelatinous stew. We woke up to a warm engine that started right up but had a tire dislike the cold temps and showed us by deflating itself. We were late getting to the Homes for Heroes office because the valve stem stubbornly refused air.

As you all know I am new to this blogging thing, only been doing it about a month now. It has been a learning process and I think I am getting the hang of it. However, there has been one thing that I have been trying to figure out from the beginning. How to embed a YouTube video into the blog. I can easily link YouTube, but from the onset I wanted to have the video right there. The problem, I found, was trying to get it to work with my service provider, WordPress. If you added an embedded video as one would normally, the blog became a ruined mess of digital pixels and data. Well I finally got it. Want to know how I came to this new knowledge? The Google. Just ask it a question and it provides something like 22 billion answers. All I had to do was check a box.

So todays blog will be practicing this newly added tool to Todd’s arsenal of great blogging tools. To date I have learned how to add pictures, hyper link, bold characters, start paragraphs and many more. I am excited so let’s get started.

Remember the other day I was questioning the full moons impact on animal behavior? You all doubted the existence of werewolves, but had to accept that perhaps the moon might be key to odd behavior. I have a couple of videos that may offer some visual insight into this phenomenon.

Here is a dog pulling another dog to safety.

Did it work? Cool. Here a brave dog saves a total stranger. That we have heard of before, but this vid has a little bit of a twist. There is a 1200 pound bull trying to gore a bullfighter. Watch how the dog takes command of this large and angry creature.

How many of you are pet owners? To be more specific, dog owners? Here is a simple test to see if you should trade the poor pup in. I have never been a fan of small dogs and this video hasn’t changed that.

Okay, Okay. I have had my fun but I still have to show you one more piece. This pet owner should be heading to the patent office right now and start purchasing infomercial time. I see a market for this. Exorcise your dog while at work? For four easy installments of $49.99 you never have to worry about your dogs health again. I also see paper delivery people drooling over the super deluxe model.

I think I am confident enough where I can take a rest, unless you want more? I see. Well from time to time in the future I will add some videos to the blog and they will be entertaining and you will all laugh and cry with the best of us.

No, I did not forget the $800 dollars in change. I will get to that soon enough, are you really that interested in what $800 in coins weighs?

I am starting to see reports that housing sales are on the increase. Here in the Twin Cities sales for 2008 were up considerably over 2007. That means that prices will start to reflect the reduction of product on the market. You know that whole supply and demand thing. Get a hold of your Homes for Heroes affiliate and see how they can put, oh say, $2500 bucks in your pocket at closing. That kind of money gets rid of that duck print wall paper in the kitchen or puts a whirlpool tub in the master bath. Get moving people.

See you tomorrow
