To embed Video...
Submitted by ggevalt on April 22, 2008 - 16:35.(Revision II)
So MixedMusic got me going on this when she posted a dead link to a very cool YouTube video. So I poked around and figured out a way for you (and me) to embed YouTube and Google videos in your work on this site. NOW PLEASE REMEMBER what this site's all about -- writing, words, expression. Don't clutter all your fine word work with a bunch of goofy videos. Ask yourself: Does this enhance the art of writing?
I asked myself the same question and have started to glean some other videos for you on writing. To see them click here or click on the keyword "video" above. Feel free to add some of your own and put video and author in the keywords. Let's see if we can build a cool library of writers talking about writing or reading their own words, etc.
Here's how to embed video into ANYTHING you post (including comments): I AM PURPOSELY misspelling the word VIDEO so that it doesn't loop to a broken link. ...
- 1. Copy the exact link to YouTube or Googletube video you want to show.
- 2. Post it this way (making sure you spell video correctly and you have brackets at either end): [vidoe:http://www.youtube.com/gobbledygookurlhere] and bingo. Submit and watch.
By the way, below is the link MixedMusic posted; it is great. (And if you click "Read More" before you start it, you'll see the real lyrics to this song by the group The Books.)

Geof Hewitt on Slam Poetry
Submitted by ggevalt on June 5, 2008 - 11:16.Here's a cool video on slam poetry. Geof Hewitt is the Slam Poet Laureate of Vermont, not that there is one but if there was one he'd be the one. Geof is a poet, teacher, trainer and wonderfully cheerful human being. If you hear about any of his slams, go to them. And go armed with a couple of poems.

So this movie brought me to tears. (I'm an emotional guy.) But it's very powerful and is all about how writing (and a strong teacher) got folks to express themselves, gain voice and gain respect -- for themselves and for each other.
