Episode- Pete's Training Day! pt 2

Bruce, The Frustrated Blogger/Woodworker/Videographer, At Your Service

You may notice something a little different about this posting, and you would be right.  I COULD rant about my problems with uploading videos to this blog and the excruciating process of reporting difficulties to the administrator, or I could vent about the terrible waste of time involved in seeing video after video ALMOST make it to fruition, only to be ripped from my eager hands with a polite but indifferent message indicating it did not post. Well, duh.
As I said, I COULD. But I won't. I'll look at the bright side.   I'll be positive. I'll make lemonade from pee. Because the site that refused my posting 12 (that's right, 12!) times in a row was also the site that gave me the great idea of posting it to YouTube, and then transferring the embed code to here! 
It's not like I haven't done stuff like that before, but it's like programming a VCR (what's a VCR?)-- you needed to do it so infrequently that you had to re-remember how to do it each and every time. A drag, yes, but since the solution was so easy and even time saving, I'm happy as a pig in slop. A cat in a sweater. A carpenter in a pile of wood shavings. It was timesaving because I ALREADY publish all these videos to YouTube, so now all I have to do (as I said) is to drag the embed code to my 'edit posts' window. By the way, if you find a Bench Dog video you simply must watch repeatedly, you can drag the embed code to your own blog, or your MySpace page, or FaceBook, or even in Yahoo! Groups-- there are probably many places I've forgotten, but just realize you can do it easily, and then you can watch my crooked puss 24/7!
Oh!  By the way, this is part 2 of "Pete Gets Dropped In The Middle Of Something He's Never Done Before Just So I Can Watch Him Drown And, Surprising But True, He Didn't Drown But Instead Did Very Well For A First-Timer." Enjoy.
