click on the youtube icon and insert the text between the "=" signs.
In this case the part in bold.

That looks easy enough, except that when I click on the YouTube icon, I don't get any = signs. I get YOUTUBE in brackets with nothing in between.

Thanks for helping me through this!

Sandy, I was already aware of the stilt walkers, and their bizarre adaptation to their geographical conditions. But congratulations on bringing them to a wider audience in a concise and pictoral way.

I often think I have never come across anything IotW worthy.
I have a secret frisson of ownership when someone presents information I have in an interesting way. Doesn't count of course, because mine stays in my head.

Sundae, did you also see it on QI? That show is a treasure trove of trivia!

I rack my brains to find stuff. Sometimes I come up with something great, but can't find any images to go with it, other times a great image with no info, so I fear it may be shopped.

My Dad made us some stilts like that when we were kids. We clomped around the yard in them for a whole summer holiday period. After we went back to school they pretty much got left behind and eventually used for firewood I guess.

I might make some for my boys. I think they'd have fun on them.

It would make it easier for them to clean the windows and paint the house.

lol...our house is lowset anyway. I like the way you think though HLJ!

Sin boldly!

IMHO, some images are fun to post even if they are shopped.

OK, now I get it, but I'm confused. That's what I did when I tried to post the stilt video and all that showed was a link. Then, I tried it with a different video and it worked the way it is supposed to.

Oh, this is too weird. When I hit preview, the first video shows up, but not the second. Then, when I scroll the page it flickers in and out. So, when I thought it wasn't showing up, it probably would have when I posted. I just wasn't able to see it in preview for some reason.

Thanks for your patience with me!!!!!

CaliforniaMama · 01-09-2012, 09:50 AM

I don't know what everyone else sees, but I see the first video and only see the second video sometimes. Most of the time, the second video is a big blank space.

I would be very careful at that height, especially if you live in windmill country. You know, stilting at windmills and stuff. Don do it!

Oh Monkey, you've still got it.
