hey Gem
I have no idea how to put videos onto slideshows. If you don't mind, could you tell me the directions that I need to take to put them on my latest slideshow that I am working on.

Many thanks for the edit.
I seem to have a lot of problems lately with all the coding appearing after I publish. Is it something I can do anything about? I write in Word and then cut and paste, and assume it is connected, but not sure how to remedy.
Any pointers would be gratefully received.

Hey Gem, man I am sorry but I may have stepped on your edit. I was rewriting something at the same time you were.

Do you mind taking a second look?

Thanks, buddy!

Gem, gotta question, or a concern really.
You edited my latest article (thank you, by the way), and i wanted to know your opinion on whether or not I should've brought more 'breaking news' type stuff into it.
I've heard nothing but gossip around campus, am miserable at investigative reporting, and all the cold hard facts have already been published everywhere. I still felt entitled as an FC to give my take on it, but to be honest I dont really care about details. I pay heed to facts and how they affect my football team.
Do you think I've done the right thing? Or should I delve through gossip and give people human interest nonsense such as what caused it, etc. that I don't believe effects football at all?

Sorry to bother you but thanks again,
JD
