Adding a video
There are many opportunities for clubs to add a YouTube video to their website - Lions, Rotary and Round Table clubs might report on an event, sewing groups might illustrate threading a sewing machine or working a special stitch, or a sports club might record prize giving.
Making a video for YouTube is easy, to edit use either the software that accompanied your video camera or use Microsoft Expression Encoder 3 which can be downloaded free (its pretty straightforward).
Once you are happy with your video follow the instructions to upload it to YouTube (it's very easy), to the right of your video you will see a field called URL - copy the contents of this field by highlighting it and using right click on your mouse and selecting copy.
Now go to your club's website, go to the page where the video is to appear and place the cursor on the page at the point you want the video to appear. Click on the video icon and it will appear on the page, when you save the page the icon will turn into your video.
The Lions Club of Fleet have included a video of their motorcycle rally which might provide you with some inspiration, have a look (it's about half way down the page).
