Can someone please tell me how to post a YouTube video to my iWeb blog? Can I post a YouTube video to any other iWeb page besides blog pages?

You can post YouTube videos on all pages, not only blogs

Chapter 1: Posting a single YouTube video on a page

1. Let's say you want to add the following video to your iWeb webpage

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuoTuL1we_c

2. Copy the "Embed" you find on the right of the video you chose. For the video I chose it is:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BuoTuL1we_c&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BuoTuL1we_c&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

3. Go to iWeb and the page you want to post the video to (Any page you want)

4. Go to web widgets, select HTML snippet

5. Paste the code you copied from the YouTube site (the whole code you find under Embed)

into the black box appearing after clicking on HTML Snippet.

6. Click Apply

7. Done, you will see the video appearing in your iWeb

To interact with the widget in iWeb double click the widget.

And here’s how it will look on your page (Katie Melua - Spider ‘s web)

Chapter 2: A way to add multiple YouTube videos to a page

Thanks to a visitor of the website we found out a beautiful way to implement videos to your website using frames.

Here is an example (miniaturized to fit the page), the “how-to” follows...

1. Choose a video
   

2. 
   

3. Steve Jobs
   Katie Melua
   "George Bush"
   Almost Famous
   
   

4. 
   

5. 
   

6. 
   

7. 
   

How this is done is described on my iWebFAQ.org E-Book.

I took screenshots of some of the iDVD templates, so the drive-in is just an image I put behind the Snippets. Not so professional way but very easy and pretty cool, huh?! You can download the screenshots by clicking here.
