How to Put Coding on Your YouTube Channel

The YouTube video sharing site lets you create a "channel" and upload videos to your channel. You can customize this channel using YouTube's backgrounds and themes, but there is no section to edit the channel's HTML code. Just because you cannot edit the HTML code of the channel itself does not mean that you cannot add any coding to your channel. YouTube allows you to add color codes to your channel, allowing you to make its look reflect your brand, company or style.
