1. Sign up your site for a YouTube account if it doesn't have one already.

2. Upload your finished video file to YouTube. Add a “ghsvid” tag to the video to make it easier to find later.

3. If there is a text story that goes with the video, save it to Zope. Copy the code from the “Embed” field on YouTube's page for your video.

4. In the “Story” field in Zope, click the “Source” button on the toolbar.  Choose a spot between paragraphs where you want your video to show up. Hit return a few times and paste the embed code from YouTube.

5. At the beginning of the embed code, add <p> immediately before the <object> tag; at the end of the embed code, add </p> immediately after the </object> tag. This will add some space above and below your video.

6. Add something to the headline or short story to let readers know there's video in the story. Headline example: “Video: Sammy the Spartan bids farewell to San Jose State.” Short story example: “Watch video of Sammy the Spartan in action at a football game vs. Hawaii in October 2005.”

7. Add a “video” keyword to the story to make it easier to find later.

8. Save your story and publish it to sections as usual.
