I just received the video
instructions email! Now what?
First of all, Welcome and Thank
You! To get your new video on your site, you will
need to be able to access the HTML code of your
site.
Most hosting companies (the
company who keeps the files shown on your website),
provide you with either an FTP account or some
web-based means to edit your code. Please check
with your particular provider for that means of
accessing your HTML code and/or files.
I see my HTML code! Now what?
Outstanding! Let's summarize the two "parts"
of the code you will be working with.
The two "parts", known as "HTML Tags"
are the only two areas of code in which the average
user will need to edit. If you aren't an experienced
web-designer, don't worry. These edits are extremely
simple and require virtually no knowledge of HTML. It's
merely a copy and paste from the initial video instructions
email you received.
Determining where to "Paste" the code.
The two "tags" previously mentioned should
be relatively simple to find, once you're looking at
your code. However, in case you are having trouble here
are some tips and tricks that should help you locate
the "tags":
- The <HEAD> tags are always near the top, and
always before the <BODY> tags.
- Both the <HEAD> and the <BODY> tags
have "closing" tags which correspond. For
example, to put something in the <HEAD>, you
must paste it between the <HEAD> and </HEAD>
tags. Same with the <BODY>.
- Most WYSIWYG editors will provide you with a button
you can click to view the code/HTML.
- Most editors, code or WYSIWYG based; will let you
do a "search" or "find" through
the code.Usually it is {CTRL + F} or {CTRL + ALT +
F}. Just do a search for <HEAD> or <BODY>
when viewing your code.
- If you do not like the tool/editor your website
provider provides you with, Notepad++
is a wonderful choice that is free for PC users.
A quick view of the final result.
This is an example of what your code will look like
after insertion. Please keep in mind that this is only
an example. Your code will slightly differ.
