Step 1
Go to YouTube and check out your favorite videos. You can also search for videos that might be appropriate for your blog. For example, if you blog about education, search using the term "education" and see what comes up. These days, YouTube is so widely used that you can find videos about serious topics in addition to all the silly stuff.

Step 2
Copy the YouTube embed codeOnce you've watched and chosen a video you'd like to use on your blog, go to the "subscribe" box on the right. At the bottom of the box, you'll see an "embed code" that permits you to embed the video on your blog. Copy the code.

Step 3
Return to your blog post and place your cursor wherever you would like the video to appear. It's always a good idea to introduce the video or make a point about the video. Make sure you choose to view your post in html rather than visual mode--the two choices that WordPress gives you when you're blogging. Simply paste the embed code in the right place.

Step 4
Don't forget to save your post, and then publish it. When you view your blog, the video will appear with the familiar arrow that permits your readers to watch the video.
