After lunch I watched Karen Schneider's YouTube video on LOCKSS and it got me thinking, I have a video file on my PC.  I had just received my digital camera as a birthday gift the day before a trip to Hayward to see the Kirtas book scanner.   The camera has a movie mode.  I took a little video of the book scanner in action.  It wasn't until I got back that I realized that the camera also records sound, else I would have narrated the workings of the scanner.
I searched YouTube to see if anyone else had posted a video of a working Kirtas scanner.  There was one video taken at SLA this year. 
I just joined YouTube, went to the upload page, browsed to where the file was, filled in a title, description and tags and let it upload.  Once uploaded YouTube provides the code which can be used to embed the video on blogs or websites. 
On Blogger I started typing in "Compose" mode, then clicked on the Edit Html tab and pasted in the code provided by YouTube.    Here is the result (not appearing yet, seems to take a lot of time for YouTube to process, or maybe there was a problem with the file, but regardless, it was easy to do) :
