Too bad that damned “flat stomach” ad stays in front of the video for half of it, Great song, though.

I’m sorry about the ad, Richard. I don’t see it, or I wouldn’t have used this video. I wonder if it’s because I have an AdBlock add-on to the Firefox browser I use.

I don’t see the ad either. For once the video image was dead-center and not a bit to one side.

Here’s your ad problem in a nutshell.
Most videos on YouTube these days are in wide screen.
In your current format, this means that the right-hand side of the screen is lopped off to fit the column.
The problem is that the little ‘x’ that you hit to lose the pop-up is always on the right-hand side.
How to solve this: I have no idea.
You have to find some way to get the whole wide screen in the blog; whether this would require redesign of the site – well, I don’t know enough about the tech stuff; somebody at your end has to figure that out.
Good luck.

What I look for is the little icon in the bottom right corner that allows me to watch a video full screen. Lots of good images of New York in this video, especially of the traffic which I remember not so fondly.

Some time you ought to google “history of YouTube” — it’s fascinating.

The guy in charge of tech stuff at this end will take your suggestions under advisement, or translating freely, he doesn’t have much of a clue. But he does his best.
