Video widths

HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, Michigan — I was glad to see many of your welcome videos posted here. One item, I did notice and that I wanted to address in this post is width. In some, you'll notice the width of the video bleed over. That's because the default width setting is wider than the default on this blog. You can adjust, though, in the html coding. Look for width. It's in pixels and sometimes you have to adjust it through trial an error to get it where you'd like it to be.

For example, in YouTube embeds, it's repeated twice. Here's how the code looks with 480 pixels, which fits here nicely. The second embed, it's at 680, which you can clearly see is too wide.

So, for those of you who have videos that are too wide, I recommend you fix them before I grade the assignment.

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PN2HAroA12w?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PN2HAroA12w?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
