July 9, 2008
Did you know that you can easily display a collection of YouTube videos on your website or blog. You can then add or delete videos on the YouTube website and your website updates automatically.
You could add a collection of video clips you’ve shot yourself showing:
- your accommodation or shop
- your products in use or being assembled
- Before and after shots
- Your creation process
- Footage of a show or event you’ve attended
- Your local area
- or (shock, horror) yourself
OR you could add a collection of videos which support your sites content, are of interest to your customers or just take your fancy. Read below for step by step instructions on how to create a YouTube playlist to display on your website.
