YouTube Tips: Embed Videos, Create a Jukebox, Filter Profane Comments

I recently ran across " Weekend Project: YouTube Downloads, Mashups, Screencasts, and More ," and it inspired me to share some of my own YouTube tips with you. Read on for how to embed a video in a blog (or other Web page), use YouTube as a commercial-free video jukebox, and filter out inappropriate comments.

How to Embed a YouTube Video

YouTube videos are meant to be shared. But the best way to share them is not by copying and pasting a link, but rather embedding the actual video in your blog, Web page, or the like. That way, your visitors can watch the clip directly without having to click away to YouTube proper.

Embedding a video used to be pretty straightforward, but recently YouTube has made some changes that make the process a bit more confusing.

Here's how to handle video embeds.

Open the YouTube page containing the video you want to embed. Just below the video window, find and click the Share button. Then, at the bottom of the "Link to this video" box, click Embed. You'll see a highlighted chunk of text. This is the "embed code," which you'll need to copy and paste into your Web page. You can do so immediately by right-clicking the text and choosing Copy. which provides a different chunk of code that's more widely compatible with blog tools. Make sure to enable any of these options you need before copying the embed code.

Also, you can choose from various sizes for your embedded video by clicking any of the gray boxes below the check boxes. If you need something smaller, use the Custom box. For example, I routinely need my videos to be no larger than 450 pixels wide, so I enter 450 in the Width field. (YouTube automatically calculates the height.)

Turn YouTube Into a Personal Video Jukebox

Now let's look at a YouTube feature designed for music lovers: the YouTube Music Discovery Project , which is designed to serve up an endless supply of your favorite artists' tunes.

Just type in the name of a favorite song or artist, then click Disco!. In a flash, YouTube creates a playlist based on that song or artist--the contents displayed in a scrolling thumbnail bar at the bottom of the screen. You can mouse over any song and click it to jump directly to it, or just let the playlist run in its regular order. You'll also notice controls (on the right side of the bar) to turn Autoplay on or off and enable or disable shuffle mode.

This is a great way to discover not only new music, but also new versions of your favorite songs. For example, I put Disco to work on Coldplay, and the first song it played was an extraordinary cover of "Viva La Vida" by a group of schoolkids.
