Embedding Youtube and other such items into your Qlubb

Many of you might not know that you can embed HTML into various parts of Qlubb. What this means is that you can embed videos, photos, etc. into your Qlubb site to enrich your group's site.

Areas such as the description and the "Useful things" can accept code that can pull in content on the Qlubb site. For example, here's a clip from the latest American idol pulled in from Youtube.



If you would like to embed this on your Qlubb site, just follow the instructions on:

http://www.youtube.com/sharing

Since this is generic HTML, you can embed all sorts of other things into your site. FOr instance, here's a small widget from http://www.widgetbox.com that does a little puzzle. Remember you can often interact with the widget and never have to leave the Qlubb site to do so.



You can also embed maps. Here's a quick writeup that discusses how to embed a google map right in your site. For events, it's a great way to put in the location -- people can interact with the map and find driving directions directly from the site - a good convenience.

If you have any fun or cool and useful applications that you've embedded, please let us know. We'd love to share what your favorite embedded codes are for Qlubb. Have fun!
