New member flunks utube

Hi,
Glad to find your group and must ask for help on my first post. I have two major issues that make it necessary to get a grip on my computer skills. Thanks in advance for any efforts directed towards me.
The first: I want to publish some footage about my favorite charity and their activities on May 9 & 10 in Newport Beach. Nice charity run completely by older volunteers-none with computer skills. I blogged about it, Come on down to Newport Beach, May 9 & 10. Now we would like to put some footage on utube and I just don't have a clue-none of us do.
Second: I just found out I have identity theft involving much more than money-someone is renting apartments, etc. under my name and using part of my name to establish credit.
Really, one is critical now. Two is really important long term and I might not have protected myself properly.
Thanks again and so happy to find this group on eons!

Hi there,

To upload a video to youtube.com you will need to register an account with them. It's free. =)

Just go to the site and click on the Sign Up link at the top of the page. Once you have created the account and logged in for the first time, go to the Account link at the top of the page (right next to where you clicked on the Sign Up link).

The Account link has a dropdown list. Ignore the dropdown and just click right on the Account link. You'll get a list of options on the page that opens up. Choose the one that says Uploaded Video's.

That will take you to a new page and you'll see a button on the lefthand column that says "Upload a Video" Click that button to go to the upload page.

Fill in the info on the upload page, then click on the Upload button at the bottom of the form.

From there you will need to browse to the video file that you have on your computer. Once you find it, just click Upload and you're done!

Now you'll need to embed the link to the video into your blog. To do that, go back to youtube.com and your Account link to View Uploaded Video's. The page with the video on it will have a line of code on the right where it says "Embed this video".

Copy that line of code and then paste it into your blog page.

Voila, you've got a video on your blog! =)

I wish I could help you with your security issue, but I'm not nearly as versed on identity theft as I am on YouTube.
