Adjust Dimensions

If you want to adjust the dimensions of the video then all you have to do is look for the terms "width" and "height" in your customized Youtube video code . It will look like this :

Example : width="425" height="344"

Remember that mostly used dimensions are :

• 450 x 395
• 500 x 439
• 550 x 483
• 600 x 527

Choose the one that fits well in your template and also make sure that video runs smoothly and that you are not watching a pixel blocks show.


Align(Center) YouTube Videos

Some bloggers like the YouTube video to appear in the center of their blog post . For this you have to put the customized video code within the HTML center tags as shown below in an example :

Example : <center>YouTube Video Code Comes Here</center>

Below is the preview of how a YouTube video will look like after you have customized its border,dimensions and alignment(center) for your blog or site.
