Adding a Video Channel Widget to your Blog

I will use picasa and twitter to explain how to add a youtube widget to a blog. So ride with me as I put you through step by step.
Login to twitter, blogger and youtube before you begin.
  1. Go to http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets (Please login to twitter to access it.);
  2. Click the "My Website" link in the left bar of the page opened in STEP 1;
  3. Select any of the widgets (but possibly the Profile Widget);
  4. Apply the necessary settings and then click on the button "Finish and Grab Code";
  5. You can choose to copy the code but I rather click the link with the "Blogger Image" which will take you to your blog if you are logged in;
  6. In the "Layout page" of your blog, click "Edit" on the newly added twitter widget. This will open a pop-up window;
  7. Rename the title and in the code section, replace it with the code below and click save, then you are DONE.
Note that you change the word "YOUR_USER_NAME" to your youtube username and you can adjust the "height and width" to your taste.
