Here's how you can really make a YouTube video blend with your blog or website. Embed the video with a colorful custom border.

Embedding a YouTube video using the default settings is pretty simple. Just copy and paste the code YouTube gives you. If you want more than the standard sized YouTube player in the standard colors, press the customize button. It's right next to the embed code and has a symbol that looks like a gear on it.

If you do not see this option, the video's owner may have disabled embedding for the video.
