toc = = = = = = = = =Definition:= Embedding HTML is an integral part to any website. An embedded HTML is when you take a part of a website (i.e. video, widget, game, .gif, picture) and implement it into your own page. It is important because it allows the user to have a richer experience with your website and adds complexity and variation to your website. Most things are able to be embedded. Some of the most popular examples are YouTube videos and Google Widgets.

=How to embed in Microsoft Expressions Web 4:= To embed something into Microsoft Expressions Web 4 is relatively easy. First you need to find whatever it is you want to embed. Moving on from there, you need to copy the formula they give you and finally, just copy and paste it into you website. From there, you can move it around or do whatever you want with it if you know how to use Microsoft Expressions Web 4.

=The Code:= The most important thing when dealing with embedding HTML is the code that is provided. Most websites give you a code directly under the thing that you would want to embed. For example, open up this youtube video of an introduction of Microsoft Office. However, once you get there, you see that there are no formulas for you to embed. Normally it is under the thing you want to embed, just sometimes you need to look for it. Once you click "Share" a link to the video comes up. This is NOT the code you want to use. Click on the embed button and then a longer, more complex looking code appears. This is the code you want to copy and paste and put into your website. The following is a picture of a screenshot of a section of code for a Super Mario widget. As you can see, the code is much longer than your screen. =Video Example:= The following video is a step by step example of how to embed a video into a Powerpoint presentation.
