How to add a video to Knol

Quick instructions for adding a YouTube video to a Knol

I am going to embed a YouTube video inside of a knol.

  
  1. Go to youtube.com and find the video you are interested in.
  2. For my example,  I'm going to include a video of guitarist Tommy Emmanual. A virtuoso guitarist who is also a darling of the YouTube crowd.
  3. To the right of the video, you'll see an area called 'Embed'. Highlight the code in the embod box and copy to the clipboard
  4. Come back over to the Knol that you are editing.
  5. Click on the HTML option in the toolbar. This takes you into a native HTML edit mode where you can enter HTML code directly. (It's on the far right with a pencil in front of it.
  6. Paste the youtube embedded code
  7. Click on the update button in the lower right hand corner. This will bring you back to the formatted Knol editor.
  8. Click on Save and then Publish
 
Voila!
 
Now if it were just that easy to play like Tommy.
 

I Don't Think So...

Every time I close this Knol, the video disappears. So far YouTube and Knols don't play so well together.
I would delete this Knol, but I don't have that knowledge yet

Videos don't persist after Close

I can view the video until I close and come back into the knol. Upon returning, the video code has disapeared.
