If you feel like sharing your makecode examples, you can actually embed them into a blog post.

Click choose to share your project

After you choose to publish, you will see this screen

The trick is to grab the embed code for either the Code, Editor or Simulator. See examples of how these look below.

Next go to the course blog, and in your post switch from the Visual editor to the Text editor.

In the Text editor, past the embed codes from make code

When you go back to the Visual editor, the project should now load interactively

See below for how these various embed codes are realized.

This post documents how to create a post for your videos.  The first step is to create a new post.  You can do this by pushing the new button at the top of the screen.

Next, you can choose the category for the post.  For the warmup project, choose the warmup project checkbox.

Now you need to add your video.  The easiest method is to use youtube, but viemo and other services work in a very similar manor.  First upload your video:

After the video has finished, copy the URL for the address of the youtube video page.

Now paste that URL into the post

and the video should show up automatically

When you are finished, push the publish button
