December is that month of the year when 90% of the blogs teach you how to 'install' falling snow on your website (but they use the method described in this post to disable it for themselves) and about 0.1% tell you how to disable it.

multiple youtube videos embedded

I recently came across a blog post on 911-need-code-help which explains how to insert (embed) multiple YouTube Videos into your blog posts. You can find both a demo and code to use, by visiting link above.

If you use Blogger, you can paste the JavaScript code directly into the post, so you won't increase the pageload for all of your blog's pages. But use draft.blogger.com as the normal Blogger doesn't publish JavaScript code correctly.

Alternatively, you could use Embedr to embed multiple videos into your blog posts which works with other websites too (not just YouTube).
