The display really looks great and you are making rapid progress!

Sounds like you had a bit of a battle to get it this far - that is a great looking display though, so well worth the effort in the end.

Adding a video can be done by the following steps;

Select the little arrow in the tool bar, circled in the picture below

This brings up a selection screen to either upload or embed

Uploading will put the video direct onto this site, I used to do that, but had a lot of issues with longer videos, so now I just embed from Youtube.

Selecting the 'embed a video' brings up a screen to enter the URL for the video.

I copy the video link from the 'Share a link' on the Youtube video to paste in

Click the 'Import video' button and it will load up into the box, I then just select the size I want it to appear as and Click 'Insert Video' at the bottom and the video goes straight into the blog.

The other advantage of linking from Youtube is that the video appears straight away and you don't have to wait for it to encode and appear after you have posted the blog.

Kind regards.
