I have finally managed to embed a video from Youtube. It is one of the ones I posted about yesterday but the attempted links failed. I had some tuition over the phone from Paul...... and bingo !! . There is another video that includes the completion of the slow movement which I should have embedded at the same time but I can't go back to download it now because I would lose what I have got here. Hope you enjoy this sampler.
Nice work, Dirty.
Now - you HAVE to tell ME how to do it too !!
Please !

Tom, it would appear that my first embedding exercise was an accident. I have tried a number of times since but without success.
Let me take you through the routine as I understand it :-
Choose the video to be embedded and click on it.
To the right of the video are two windows labelled 'URL' and 'Embed'
Draw the cursor along the 'Embed' window and it highlights it in blue (be sure to keep the cursor on the window until it scrolls to the end and picks up all the detail)
Right click on the highlighted window and in the dropdown choose 'copy'( this puts the embed instruction in a file rather like the cut and paste routine)
The next step is the one that confuses me - you go to Typepad to compose your post and right click on 'Edit HTML' with the intention of pressing 'Paste' on the dropdown but paste is not active.
So like you Tom I'm becalmed at the moment.
Perhaps we should throw our pride to the wind and crave assistance from anyone who reads this and can help.

I might try and explain via an embedded video this evening.
