Justin,

Thank you for the article about how to upload your youtube video to craigslist. I am having trouble with this. I followed your instructions from a print screen of the video and converting it to a jpeg and then uploading it to my flikr account.

In your instructions close to the end you state that all a person has to do is instert the link for the picture and the URL for the video into the html code you provided and then upload it to craigslist. I have done that but I am not getting the end result. Is there something I am doing wrong? I am guessing it might have something to do with the html code. I am giving you the link to the picture and the link for my youtube video. If you could please help me I would really appreciate it.

1. How did you get the code for my pic? I was not able to find it.

2. Once I input the code into the html code and clicked on continue, once it went to the preview page it does not show the image, its just blank. Any suggestions? Here is the code, please look at it and let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Great post indeed. Something I never even thought of. This can change the way many people market their products and services on CL.

I find this a little amusing. I have been doing this for a little while now, but I never thought about writing a post about it... duh. This is definitely a great way to do for posting vids on CL and kudos to Justin for writing it. Nice work.
