click on the youtube icon and insert the text between the "=" signs.
In this case the part in bold.
That looks easy enough, except that when I click on the YouTube icon, I don't get any = signs. I get YOUTUBE in brackets with nothing in between.

Thanks for helping me through this!

Sandy, I was already aware of the stilt walkers, and their bizarre adaptation to their geographical conditions. But congratulations on bringing them to a wider audience in a concise and pictoral way.

I often think I have never come across anything IotW worthy.
I have a secret frisson of ownership when someone presents information I have in an interesting way. Doesn't count of course, because mine stays in my head.

Sundae, did you also see it on QI? That show is a treasure trove of trivia!

I rack my brains to find stuff. Sometimes I come up with something great, but can't find any images to go with it, other times a great image with no info, so I fear it may be shopped.

My Dad made us some stilts like that when we were kids. We clomped around the yard in them for a whole summer holiday period. After we went back to school they pretty much got left behind and eventually used for firewood I guess.

I might make some for my boys. I think they'd have fun on them.

It would make it easier for them to clean the windows and paint the house.

Sin boldly!

IMHO, some images are fun to post even if they are shopped.

OK, now I get it, but I'm confused. That's what I did when I tried to post the stilt video and all that showed was a link. Then, I tried it with a different video and it worked the way it is supposed to.





Oh, this is too weird. When I hit preview, the first video shows up, but not the second. Then, when I scroll the page it flickers in and out. So, when I thought it wasn't showing up, it probably would have when I posted. I just wasn't able to see it in preview for some reason.

Thanks for your patience with me!!!!!

I don't know what everyone else sees, but I see the first video and only see the second video sometimes. Most of the time, the second video is a big blank space.

I would be very careful at that height, especially if you live in windmill country. You know, stilting at windmills and stuff. Don do it!
