    What's the best way to be able to have a portfolio page with links to video that don't pop a new window and make it easy to have a "client" update the page very easily??? thoughts??? Do I need a custom admin page for the video portfolio page to update it? Any suggestions or links to sites that do this well would be much appreciated! thanks in advance!

    Embed the code directly into the HTML page.

    1. Go to http://www.youtube.com

    2. Use keywords to search for a video you would like to post on your blog, Blackboard, Moodle, or web page.

    3. Once you found the perfect video, look to the right of the video. In the text box that describes the video, find the information in the text box next to the word Embed.

    4. Highlight and copy (Control+c) the embed code (the information in the text box).

    5. Open the application you want to embed the video in.

    Blogs-Create a new post and paste (control + v) the embed tag into the text box of the post.

    Blackboard-Open up the Content Area you want to add the video to. Create an Item. in the text box, paste the embed tag into the text box. Click Submit
    Moodle-Go into the course you want to add the video. Add the resource Compose a web page. In the text box, paste the embed tag. Click Save Changes.
    The YouTube video will now directly be displayed in the page and you can play it on that page.
