For a Mac.
In the YouTube site put up the item you want.
- Below the little screen there are choices under "Share", and one will be an address box that starts with "http://".
- Put your curser on this and it will highlight blue.
- Do "Command C". That cuts it.
- Go to the Cymbaltawithdrawal site, select your box and when ready do "Command V" and that will put the address into the box.
- When you post it, the YouTube piece will come up.

TM, is this how inserting a video would be done on a PC?
Also, how did you post/insert that graphic of the red boxing gloves?
Brzghoff, thanks for asking this ... I've been wanting to for ages, but then always forget ..

FN
The Cut on a PC is Ctrl + C and the Paste is Ctrl + V (hold the Ctrl with one finger and press the C (or V), and let both up together).
I haven't had a PC for a while, but I believe you can cut the highlighted address from YouTube and paste it where you want using the method I mentioned. It will hold the last cut all day (a long time through any number of web-site changes).
The boxing gloves were cut and pasted the same way. I googled red boxing gloves images and selected an image. I touched on it with the curser and it turned shaded blue. I cut it and went back to CymSite and pasted it there for you.
I hope this helps. You're welcome Liz.

thank you TM. i guess i mentioned one time that i have a mac and you remembered! i have never used the "share" feature on you tube or any social media before. now i know how it works. i also like how you didn't assume. even though i know about cutting and pasting with command keys, you didn't necessarily know that. you could teach a lot to the IT help desk depts in corporations across the globe! thanks for your thoroughness.
