Please read this post - yes you!

Sorry I haven't been on in about three weeks - it's not (completely) because I've been busy, but I've been unsure of what to blog about! Running out of ideas is so tragic! So two things to address in this post; please comment if you have any suggestions.

1. How do you imbed a video (i.e. youtube) onto your blog instead of pasting a link? If you know how, please explain step by step as I am horrible with computer-related things.

2. Is there anything you would like me to post about in particular - more of something I've posted about in the past, for instance, that you'd like me to do more of? I am almost totally drained of inspiration.

Thank you bunches!!!

peace.

hello! thanks for your comment, cutsie! :D
to answer your blogging questions:
1. Once at the video of your choosing, look to the right. There should be the user name, the info box describing the video, then something that says 'url' and 'embed'. Next to 'embed' click the little blue gear icon.
2. Don't worry about any of the settings except what color you'd like & what size. Select your choice.
3. This will automatically change the html coding next to 'embed' to your custom design. Copy the coding in that box, the white one next to 'embed.'
4. Now go to your blogger account & the new post you're working on. Under 'title' and to the right aways, it should say 'edit html' and 'compose'. click 'edit html'.
5. now paste the code you got from youtube into the 'edit html' box.
6. Click on compose, right next to where you clicked 'edit html' at the top. You should see a box, & although its not a clear youtube video, it WILL show up as one when posted. Drag and drop that box anywhere where you'd like the video to be in your post. Publish when ready.

Its actually ALOT easier than that. :) Just hard to explain.
& as far as topics, hmmm... I already adore your blog, so it seems fine to me! maybe share some of your writing or art? whatever you're talented at. Thanks cutie!

I don't know how to imbed a video either...never tried it.
Orange blossom water is available at Sur la Table, or you can order it online from http://www.kalustyans.com/. Its very flowery and distinctive. You can omit it, or try a different flavor combination - maybe rose water (which is available at most "nicer" grocery stores) and raspberry jam maybe?

oooh! post about you gorgeous friend, Adela, lol ;) just kidding, dexti! umm, i'd like to see more fashion, or more specific, unique topics. i think you're blog is nice, but a lot of people have blogs with pictures of flowers and trinkets. maybe some more creative photo shootes? (recalls our conversation regarding the v. c. photo shoot this morning) =D

I sometimes get inspired to write/share after i've read a really good book that challenges the way i think. I like to pick books that talk about some topic i've never heard of or thought much about before. or books with a inspiring person i can really relate to, like anne frank. =P
