   I wonder if she’ll run for office in Massachusetts again?

   Paulie, can you email me instructions on how to scale down the Youtube videos to fit this site? I have been unable to figure it out on my own.

   Jill,

   When you’re getting ready to insert a YouTube video, you are generally at the YouTube site, right? And you click “share” and then “embed” and copy the code, right?

   If that’s how you’re doing it, then when you click embed, if you look below the code that you’re getting ready to copy and paste, there is a form where you can type in a different width. When you do that, it automatically changes the embed code to be the width you specify. I normally use 400 pixels width.

   Thanks, Tom! I thought it had to do with the IPR site.

   Jill,
   You can resize the video after it’s posted. When you open the post to edit find “width” and change the number to 400 and “height” to 225

   I just post the URL, not the embed code.

   For example:
