Google Free Website - Adding You Tube Videos and Customizing

Google offers Free Websites that can be created, changed in an instant to a new theme, and has ability for Templates to be Uploaded or Downloaded for advanced users familiar with coding.

 
Generally these websites will work in all browsers, Safari, Internet Explorer (IE6, IE7, IE8). I have received a few comments regarding plug-ins and their ability to work or not work in some browsers.

 
When installing code such as, Flash, WMP, MPS, etc... make sure you are using the most recent updated software, as it will be more compatible with all browsers.

 
Installing the code into Google Browser:
  • Making a Google Website - Adding Video
    • Click Edit - Top right hand side of screen
      • Top of screen will show you are in edit mode
    • Select Box to Add Code
    • Paste code appropriately between
      tags best (
      tags may be confusing unless using template with CSS structure that was previously uploaded)
    • Review code to make sure you have not overlapped, and is properly placed within and
    • SAVE - Always save your progress after each edit
    • Preview results to make sure it looks right
  • Adding Video - You Tube is Best
    • For best results and easiest viewing use You Tube
    • MPEG, MPEG2 or otherwise may not render on website properly
    • These outside programs require files to be saved on computers and played with WMP program
    • All users will not see video, because of security prompts by computer
    • You Tube is Free, upload your MPEG or MPEG2 to You Tube
      • Create a Yout Tube Account
      • Upload Your Video
      • Type in keywords and description of video
      • Once video is uploaded, preview saved results
      • Click on embed video to get code needed for video to be used on Google Website
      • Link video to website and website to video
I hope this helps.
