A YouTube tip...

So, you're looking for a bit of YouTube fabulousness, but the video seems a little small on your gigando screen. If only there were a way to make the video show up a little larger.

Ah, but there is!

Step one, load up whatever video you want to see.

Head to the far right to the link provided to embed the video in a blog (like the fancy cool one you happen to be reading right now). Copy that entire link.

Paste the link into the address bar in your browser and click to the end of the address. Delete from the end of the address backward to get rid of the " just before the word type. Now, head to the front of the address and delete forward until you're just leaving the http:// part of the address.

For the Joan Baez Muppet Show video, you'd have a link like this: http://www.youtube.com/v/1whnFas5UUI.

Hit enter, and all should be giant and well.

Admittedly it doesn't make the video high-quality or anything, but it does make things at least nearly full screen-size.

A helpful little tip for you folks.

I figure that if you're gonna be reading this blog, you may as well get something out of it.
