How to Embed the Windows Media Player
With the rapidly growing interest for blogs and other informational websites, embedding or putting your personal videos into your blog has become popular. Microsoft's Windows Media Player allows you to create, edit and save your masterpieces, and then embed your videos into a website. With some HTML coding, you can add a personal touch to your website, but make sure, if the video is not yours, that you have written consent to post the video or state you do not own the rights to the video.

Locate in the HTML document where you would like to place the embedded video. It is important to know what you are reading on your HTML document. For example, if you want the video in between a paragraph and a picture, locate the end of the paragraph in twice, which means "Enter," and begin here.

Input the embedded code. Each Windows Media Player video has the same HTML code. The HTML code is: "<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240" style="position:absolute; left:0;top:0;" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" type="application/x-oleobject"> <PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="your file or url"> <PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True"> <PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True"> <PARAM name="uiMode" value="none"> <PARAM name="PlayCount" value="9999"> </OBJECT>".

Change the width and height of the video in the first line of the HTML code. On a video, 500 to 500 is considered medium size, while 1000 to 800 is the size of a standard computer screen. Keeping these guides in mind, configure the correct height and width you want to display.

Tips & Warnings
Make sure that you open and close with the "<OBJECT>" and "<OBJECT/>" tags. The video will not function without these "OBJECT" openings and closings.
