Thing 20 question

Is there a way to shrink the videos I have chosen to place in my blog, and is it legal to readjust the size? Mine look larger than I would like. I looked for guidance from Blogger and from the YouTubeTeacherTube sites but didn't find any helpful. In the beginning of the html code, there are dimensions. Would it help to readjust them? I tried putting the cursor further into the paragraph, but it didn't help. I considered the possibility that Zamzar would help. Any advise would be appreciated.

I know that was my very comment. How do I shrink the video, especially if I want to put it on the side panel. The video takes up a lot of room. You are almost through. I just have my podcast to create...I'll do it...

if you add a video to the sidebar, be sure you add it to the html page element...it should shrink to fit

after you add a video to a post under the html tab then flip back to compose and see if you can adjust the size by pushig on the corners?

is there a reason you want them smaller?
it would be hard to show to a class.

It is cool how your audio (music) comes on automatically). But when launching your video, the audio stays on, drowing the music from the video. How how you turn it off? I couldn't find it in any of your posts. I am very impressed with your opinions (some way over my head) and your presentation overall.

VWB, I will try your suggestions. I think when I originally embedded the videos, I wanted them on the side, but they got cut off just a little. I wanted them smaller so they would not take up so much space, and I thought it would be good to click on "whole screen" to view. Thank you for helping.

Dear Frasianlat, Thanks for pointing out the sound issue!! I usually have music on no matter what I am doing--it helps me concentrate--but I can see where this is not effective . I will go back to Playlist and turn off the automatic play option. At this point in time I really think I have too much "stuff" in my blog, but it has sure been fun playing with these things.
