If you manage to get your blog linked to YouTube…you’ll notice that when you view a video on YouTube and choose the “share” option, you’ll see an option that will be the name of your blog. Click on it and you can post the video and write a blog post in just a couple of clicks.

In short…it saves a little time if you can get it to work and want to write up a very simple blog post with a video. Otherwise, you’ll have more luck just copy/pasting the embed code into your blog post. Do you have a blog? Did you know you can ADD YOUR BLOG TO YouTube.com?
