Way back on 10th April, which seems so long ago now, I posted a blog post on Image Copyright, Here. On this post I discussed how, when populating your own blog posts with imagery for drawing a reader’s eye, image copyright had to be considered.
What I didn’t mention was YouTube. YouTube can be a great resource, especially for those of you who love spending time browsing all the weird and wonderful content that can be uploaded on there.
I saw just how much a YouTube video can add to a blog, when I Retweeted a post Vikki at The View Outside, had written, containing a clip of Stephen King giving a talk to a classroom of children. It was my most Retweeted tweet that week! You will find that post Here.
So, if you’re looking for great visual content for your blog, don’t forget to check out YouTube. Each video has a button below it specifically for you to be able to share it. YouTube users want you to share their content.
And on that note, I leave you with a great little clip of Bookmans library dominoes. It’s only 47 seconds long. Enjoy!
Rebecca – Oh, that is a great clip! And you’re right; YouTube content can add much to a blog. And I’ve found it useful as an author too. One can upload readings of one’s stories for instance. An excellent choice for a Y post.
My book trailers are on YouTube!
And I’m always looking for funny clips from shows. Or a music video.
47 seconds and how long do you think it took them to set all that up?
Brilliant clip! I wonder how long it took to make??
Love the clip. Wouldn’t have wanted to be the one to tidy up afterwards though. 😉 xx
That’s the great thing about YouTube, they do want you to share. I set up a blog for an artist/cartoonist friend of mine. I found a great clip of him, an interview by a local network. I added it to his blog.
As far as photos, I always use my own or clip art in public domain. Good post.
History Sleuth’s Writings an A to Z mini mystery.
Enjoyed the clip, Rebecca. Thanks for sharing it. I have found all kinds of interesting things on YouTube. I usually look for vintage stuff in black and white.
How cool is this!
I’ll have to check if my free WordPress blog allows video. Thanks for the tip, and love the video. Try THAT with an ebook! 😉
Thanks for the mention honey 🙂
I LOVE using videos!
xx
Thanks for this, Rebecca. Apart from our one brief foray onto YouTube reading a short story – which, of course, we shared – I never considered sharing anything from the vast virtual library created by others. Added to the list! 🙂
