- There are many easy ways to post your YouTube videos to Blogger using third party tools / websites such as ifttt.com, however the method I explain here relies solely on Google products (YouTube, FeedBurner and Blogger).
- Login to Blogger.com
- Enter a secret word for your auto blogging via email.
- Click "Save settings" to make the changes permanent.
- From now on you will be able to create blog posts via sending emails to this secret email address.
- This is an example my YouTube account so make sure you replace my username(jenson) with that of your own.
- This is the URL of my YouTube uploads which retrieves them as an RSS XML file. Replace my name (Blog Angle) with the name of your YouTube channel.
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/blogangle/uploads alt=rss&v=2&orderby=published&client=ytapi-youtube-profile
- here is a simpler alternative URL for the same purpose:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos?orderby=published&author=blogangle
- Go to feedburner.google.com
- Enter the URL from step 1 into the only text box on the webpage
- On the above screen you can safely ignore the given options (As these can be changed later if you wish to do so).
- Click Next once more and you will see the screen below:
- In the above screen you can ignore all options and click next. (I have checked all the available options to be able to see some more stats about the feed but this is irrelevant to what we are doing here). So click Next one last time!
- Click on the "Publicize" tab and you will see the screen below:
- Click on "Email Subscription" link on the left hand side and you will see the screen below:
- On the above click the activate button to enable this feature. You will see a success message as shown below:
- Click the RSS icon in the top left corner to view your newly created Feed(e.g. http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogangle) on feedburner. You will be presented with the page displayed below (containing a list of your YouTube uploads.
- Click on the link that reads "Get Videos delivered by email". A popup will appear, so make sure it is not blocked by a pop-up blocker.
- Enter your secret blogger email address in the popup window and click "Complete Subscription Request" button:
- Once you have subscribed to the feed on feedburner, an automatic blog post will be made to your blog that looks like the following:
- Click on the confirmation link in the above Blogger post (which was automatically created on your blog)
- Go to your blogger interface and delete this blog post because it will no longer server a purpose and it makes your blog look bad.
