Posting the movies is super easy. Don't be put off by unfamiliar lingo.
Html code is just text. It contains commands that are in the form of a word or letter ("tag") between less-than/greater-than signs. Because it's just text it can be selected, copied and pasted just like, well, text. The "embed code" is html code that will put a video in a web page.
For the videos, when someone posts a video on the web (in YouTube or elsewhere), it's common for the embed code to be made available too. Just look for the word "embed" somewhere on the page and then select and copy what's in that box or field. In YouTube, there's an "About This Video" box to the right of the video window, and the Embed box is at the bottom of that box.
In Blogger, when you compose, you have two options: "Compose" or "Edit HTML". Those are tabs on top of the composing box. Use the Edit HTML box and then just paste the embed code there. Voila.
With this method, the movie file doesn't reside on your computer nor do you upload it to Blogger. The embed code just references somewhere else on the web where the video is located.
It's actually less work than posting pictures.
(You can, of course, also post movies in the same way as pics, where the file is on your hard drive and you upload it to Blogger.)
[Update P.S.: Was everyone able to view the movies? I'm assuming it worked because it works on my computer.]
