So I am going to show you. Please BOOKMARK this so you can have this handy!




Under every video you will see "Add to". SHARE, and ...more. Click the SHARE and a box opens up with a code in it. COPY AND PASTE the code into your Posting box and the video will automatically show up.


PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT...

and you end up with some silly code strung after the video. Do it like I showed you and
you won't have any dangling codes.

It is faster and you can copy any YouTube video that is posted on any other site this way.

No "tagging" strings!

The 2012 version of "Where the Hell is Matt" is highly recommended too, but I just love the music for this video:

The dog's name is Carrie (perrita ballerina), and she has a few other clips I've seen online. Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I'll just watch Carrie dance, and it immediately lifts my mood.

Have you seen Carolyn and Rookie dance to Grease?



Golden Retrievers help in keeping me sane in this crazy world. Dogs do generally, but I have a HUGE love for Goldens. I love my Golden Girls very, very much.
