Montevideo is closed . . . . IT help required . . .

. . .  on Sundays.  We got up late and just got into the Catedral before the 11am mass started.  We'd looked at which sights we'd not seen the day befor and plotted them on our walking tour.  Unfortunatly Montevideo appears to close on Sunday - shops, museums, restaurants, the lot.   So we mooched around for the morning and headed to Don Peperone (again) for lunch as it was the only place apart from McDonalds, Burger King and the California Buito Company open.  In the afteroon we tried to put a video from our camera on to the blog and this is where IT help is required - does anyone know how to save a video clip from a camera into an MPEG or equivalent so that it can be posted onto a blog?  We assume that software might be required, but if anyone has the answer, there will be a prize for the first person!  We decided on drinks on the roof bar before going out but as the actual bar was shut but the door to it open we took our own up and out.  Lovely sunshine but on coming back down to the door found it locked...A call to the front desk enabled us to be brought down via the service lift.  Out for dinner at the only place in town (again) then home to the only bar in town - room 202 in the hotel.  At least we had a peaceful night as the loud crowd only do their 2.00am - 6.00am partying in the streets Friday and Saturdays, lucky us.  Tranfer to Punta del Est next.

    Print Videos are a great way to spice up your blog. In fact, the form has proven so popular that pure video blogs - or "vlogs" - are popping up all over the Internet. If you'd like to join in on the fun, posting a video using Blogger is simple. It's not currently possible to directly host video files on Blogger. However, you can embed or link to video files on your blog as long as they are hosted elsewhere on the Web.

    For example, to embed a video from YouTube, just copy and paste the code from the "Embed" box into your posting form while in "Edit HTML" mode Ã' you can also find this code in the "About This Video" box when you're watching the video. An "Embed HTML" box is also on the "Edit Video" page if the video is yours.

    For more information on embedding YouTube videos, you can check out the Sharing YouTube Videos page at the YouTube Help site.

    If you want to use a video file that isn't hosted at YouTube, the steps are still pretty much the same. Simply obtain the URL of the hosted file and then insert it between the quotation marks in the following HTML code:



    It's that simple. If you want to adjust the height, width or other more complicated attributes, there are tutorials available online that can help you do so.

  3. Dear Bon,
    Thanks for all your efforts, but although it says it's simple, it isn't. Think we'll stick to photos!
