HOW TO MAKE VIDEO PLAYLIST?

◄ YOUTUBE VIDEOS ►
Ok, you already know how to add a youtube video into Blogger post. Now, we'll going to see how to make a playlist from the videos we choose.
First, create an account with Youtube.com.

Below, you can see my examples:

Player example 1	Player example 2

...these are default Youtube players. As you can see, I've chosen a few videos I'd like to play on my Blog, and just embedded the player into the post. Options:
► yes, you can change the size of the player (read Part 1)
► when you update your playlist on Youtube, the one on your Blog is automatically updated

To create your playlist, you need to have an account. Rest is simple:
► browse (search) for the videos you like
► include the certain video in the playlist (click on the Playlist link under the video)
► when you've created your playlist, go to your Account
► on the list of options, click on Custom Video players
► customize your player, and select the playlist you'd like it to play..
► you can create different playlists, and choose different settings for each

How to place Youtube videos in Blogger Sidebar?
1. The easiest possible way - in your Blogger account, go to LAYOUT ► PAGE ELEMENTS ► "Add a Gadget" ► choose VIDEO BAR from the list
Here, you can choose what kind of videos you want to feature on your Blog. To choose your own Videos, just create and edit your channel in Youtube (Account ► Edit Channel)

2. Google wizard - similar to number 1., but more advanced. You have the option to place the playlist horizontally or vertically, and choose what channels or videos you'd like to show....
Copy the code provided, and place it in HTML/Java script gadget (or alternately into Post).

3. Also, you can place a third party Gadget/Widget to display Youtube videos. Advantage - different skins and options. Disadvantage - sometimes, they are buggy. Here are the links of some cool ones:
Youtube Videos Gadget
Youtube Videos Channel
Youtube Sidebar Widget

4. Old fashion way....Create HTML table, and place the embed codes into the column...choose width and height, borders, captions....
This may seem to be dull, but trust me, you can get great results....More about tables + videos in Part 3

5. You can also add RSS feed of some popular Youtube channels...Read more about it here.
