Want to customzie your site to include your favorite games, videos and pics? Here's how!
Things You’ll Need:
- Computer
- Internet Connection
Step 1:
The Game: First, find a game. You can do a Yahoo or Google search. I often will get games from iGoogle because they have many games from lots of different sites there.
Step 2:
Grab Code: Now you have to get the code. If you have Internet Explorer, navigate to the page where you can play the game. Go to ‘View’ on your tool bar and click ‘Source’. This will bring up the HTML Source code for the site, probably in notepad. Don’t worry, you don’t have to know what it all does!
Step 3:
Hunt: Now you have to hunt the code for the URL of the game. A URL is the web address (ie. http://eHow.com). Most of the games out there right now are in Flash Format so you are looking for a file with an extension of ‘.swf’. Press 'Ctrl' 'F' and a find window will come up. Type in ‘swf’ and hit the ‘Find Next’ button. This should take you to the URL location for the flash image on the web site. Copy down that URL text.
Step 4:
Add Code: Now you need to set up the code so you can add this to your site. It’s easy as pie. Insert the URL into the embedding code (click on the graphic to get a close-up of where to put it). It goes in two places. Now copy the embed code with the game code into your HTML for your blog, myspace or web page.
- You can add movies and pictures using the same exact method!
