How to Embed a Video

Since we use our videos' viewcounts and comments to judge how popular each show are, we strongly recommend our visitors to embed or link our videos rather than re-upload them when sharing. By doing so, we will be able to prioritize more accurately which series to upload/update first.

Here are some quick and easy guides on how to link a video and how to embed a video from our website:

1. Start on the post that contains the desired video(s).
2. Highlight the website URL at the top of your web browser.
3. Right click (or press the "Ctrl" and "C" buttons on your keyboard) to copy the URL.
4. Go to the post/page of your own website.
5. Right click (or press the "Ctrl" and "V" buttons on your keyboard) to paste the URL.
6. [Optional] Press the "Link" or the button to change the copied URL from text into a hyperlink.
7. [Optional] Save your work and check to make sure the hyperlink is working.

Method 2 (slower): Linking to the Dailymotion video page
