How best to attach videos to the BEA
« on: January 24, 2018, 06:22:16 AM »
I went digging for the best method and approach to attach video links to the BEA.
Obviously, other video hosting sites change over time and wanted to move the "best practice" to the top here.

Sort of want to avoid what appeared on a recent Pink Lisa post.

What is the best way to link or reference video content?


Personally, I always link to embed a still image along with a link just for the record, even if the link dies.

May we make wise choices in how and what we harvest,
may earth's weather turn kinder,
may there be enough food for all creatures,
may the diminishing light in our daytime skies
be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance
in our hearts.
