Our club has a lot of visitors we want to use a video when they come on showing our club members and talking a bit about the club. Can we do that? If yes, how? Colleen McDonald

Yes. Upload the video to YouTube, then use the sharing/embeding function of YouTube to produce iframe code that can be inserted in your website.

Sounds like it might be an interesting thing to try. However, one question: What would happen when the video ends, would the viewer be left "in" YouTube or would display return to the club home page? Viewer, if still seeing YouTube display info, might be distracted to go to other videos and never return to the club site. On completion of the video I would want the video screen to automatically go away and the picture that is now displayed remain.

You don't understand. Using an iframe, you are viewing content from another website in your website--you never leave your website. The iframe is like a window into another website. That is why people use iframes in FTH websites.
