Testing Blab on my blog 2

Part of the preparations for the NileTESSOL16 about the Digital Writing Month (DigiWriMo15) +Maha Bali decided to have a video conference with the other two facilitators +Sarah Honeychurch and +Kevin Hodgson and me as one of the participants. The main purpose was to have a recorded video of Sarah and Kevin reflecting on their experiences in designing and facilitating the month, as well as what they have taken from the experience for the future.

Hopefully will explain a bit more later about why we decided to go with blabl.im as a platform for our video conference, what we expected to be able to do and what we discovered, I will try to come back to this post, edit it an update it, but I am not good at coming back to tidy things up once the purpose is achieved, unless, of course I feel that it can be of use to others. We'll see how this goes.

The main reason for this post is to test and embed code. 

I knew that if a blabcast is recorded the main host receives an email with a link to download the video. I hadn't even opened previous ones because I didn't need them.
This time I discovered that the email includes two things. 1- a button to download. 2- A code to embed the video (yay for that).

So here I am testing that embed code



Which I can see works woot :)
