For the longest time CNN did not provide a way to embed videos but tonight I found they now do.
We have added a button for CNN videos to the post box when you add/edit a post.
1. Go to the CNN video and click Embed below the video
2. Copy the embed code
3. Come here and add a new post
4. Click on the "cnn" button
5. Paste in the part of the embed code that follows the "&vid=" up until the quote (")
For example, this is a sample embed code from a CNN video:
Code:
<iframe src="http://www.cnn.com/video/savp/evp/?loc=dom&vid=/video/ireports/2008/08/29/barnett.lok.dnc.wrap.cnn" height="393" width="406" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
Here is what the code will look like in your post here:
Code:
[cnn]/video/ireports/2008/08/29/barnett.lok.dnc.wrap.cnn[/cnn]
and the result looks like this:
[cnn]/video/ireports/2008/08/29/barnett.lok.dnc.wrap.cnn[/cnn]
