If you use YouTube videos in your blog then you might find some of the following tips and tricks pretty handy if you don’t know them already.

 Link to a Chosen Start Time of a YouTube Video

Say for example, you want to link to a nice video that you found on YouTube but it has some crap at the start which you don’t really want your visitors to watch. In a situation like that you can just link to a specific time of that video so when the video starts it will start from that specific time and skip everytime before that.

So if I wanted to link a YouTube video and wanted it to start playing from 1 minute and 17 seconds when someone follows the link then all I have to do is append #t=1m17s to the video URL.

In the example below I am using a time of 1 min 17 seconds

Original video URL:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFoe6oS0Np0
Video URL linked to a specific time:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFoe6oS0Np0#t=1m17s
