Recently, I went Baltimore City for a conference at University of Baltimore. A group of us drove down and parked in the train station. As we were walking by the Dogwood tree's were in full bloom. They were stunning!The top picture is of the clock on the Penn Station building. This is a picture I took and uploaded to this blog. The picture of the Dogwood blooms (bottom) is from Google images that resembles what I saw at the station. This picture I upload using embedded text. The difference between to is this:
Embedding an image or video in a blog is when the image or video appears within the context of the post, although the actual data remains on the server that hosts it. The disadvantage to this approach is if the owner of the video or image is removed or deleted from a website (Flickr or Youtube for example), then that image or video will no longer appear on your blog. When embedded in a blog, the HTML code instructs the browser where to obtain the video or image and how to display it (Web 2.0 Concepts and Applications).
Uploading an image or video from your own computer takes up space on your computer. The advantage is that you do not have to fear that it will no longer appear on your blog because it is your image or video. It also allows me to upload several images at a time. If I wanted to embed all my images, I would have to do them one at a time.
