Can we post videos on our blogs (our own from EX5)?

[SkyGirl]

I took some short videos of events at EX5 last weekend.  I want to include them in one of my blogs.  All the people in the videos watched them in Virginia Beach, and agreed that I should post them in a blog.  But I'm not sure how to do that that.  I open a new blog, I click on the camera icon, I open my photo/video library on my iPad, I click on the video I want to include, the video compresses itself, and I click on red button to post it in the blog.  But then nothing happens.  

So, my question:  Are we allowed to post videos that we've taken ourselves (not videos found on the Internet)?  If so, how do we do that?  I'd like to post these videos before EX5 is too much a thing of the past...

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

I guess that would be an option. I don't know if they show up on the home page or not.

Here is info about it from Mark..... /blogs/Mark-blog/2017/01/26/embedding-videos-in-your-questions-and-discussions

Yes SkyGirl‌.  You can provide a video but you have to put the video in a Blog/Discussion/Question that is in a location.  You can't put it in SkyGirl Blog‌.  So if you go to EX Weekend 2017 - Virginia Beach‌ and then find  Actions and then click Video or Blog.

As mentioned by Strudel‌ currently embedding videos in personal blogs isn't possible. It has to be a blog published in a location other than your personal blog container.

Thank you, Mark.  I think I got these short videos posted properly in a blog here on your location "EX Weekend 2017 - Virginia Beach".  I see that you said (somewhere, but can't re-locate it to quote you) that Admin was working toward the goal of allowing user-created videos to be uploaded into personal blogs.  Any word on the progress?  Thanks, again.
