How+Do+I...?

**If/when you run into that frustrating question we all know so well, ("How do I..?") post the question here for our experts to answer!**

Innes can you explain how to put Youtube movies staright into a powerpoint? What do I need to download etc...Stephen

In the discussion page I see Ben and Alan have photos as their pictures. I have tried to do this and work thru the process but it doesn't happen. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Stephen

Hi Stephen You will need to download the You Tube movie on to your computer. The easiest way to do this is to insert 'kick" immediately in front of youtube. E.g. if the url begins like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BULUq...., then after you insert 'kick' it will now look like this http://www.kickyoutube.com/watch?v=BULUq..... Once you've done this, press return/enter and you will be asked for format options. For a Mac, select mp4, for a PC select .avi.

Once you've saved the file on your computer, then there is a separate process for inserting it into your Powerpoint - search Help files.

As far photos go, once you've logged in, click on My Account at the very top of the screen. There you will find an option to insert your photo. If ti doesn't work, that is possibly because the file is too big (1MB maximum).


 * Hi anyone that can help with Blogger,

I started up my class blog a couple of weeks back and all is well and fine except that I cannot get rid of the access in the bar up the top (Navbar??) to 'Next Blog'. I read the instructions in the help menu and said something along the lines of deleting the URL, but I have no idea where I am supposed to do this. Any suggestions appreciated. I did check on a couple of links to blogs on this wiki, but no joy yet...

Cheers

 * After a more indepth search on the net I have found the above site useful for getting rid of the Navbar at the top of my blog. This basically means that when anyone visits our blog they can't click on 'next blog', so this makes it safer for my students and anyone else visiting.

Hope this helps other bloggers!**

Well done, Mel. That is the solution I found as well, although I had hoped there would be an easier way than that! Allan**
