Is there a way to add youtube videos within blogspot post on Google?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Yes there is a way to do this and it really is easy.
First find the "embed code". You can get to it from the YouTube video you would like to embed's page. I will use this video for an example.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qBOfzJVI7M&feature=popular
The red arrow points to where you will find the embed code.
Once you have that you will need to re-size the video to fit Blogspot 400 column width. This is also pretty easy. First post the code in your Blogspot blog and then simply change the code a bit. I have used the arrows to point to the two spots I found will need to be changed in the embed code from 480 to 400.
Both spots where the number 400 is listed originally had the number 480 listed as the width and I have found that to be too wide for the Blogspot format.
