Hang On To The Airplane

Here is a funny image I found in Google Images. It is obvious that this was photoshopped, but its still pretty funny! Hard to believe that a kid could be hanging on for dear life on the outside of an airplane.

YouTube Layouts For Aviation

Aviation related blogs are becoming more and more popular. I also have noticed that the number of aviation related videos available on YouTube have increased dramatically. This means that there are more and more airplane and aviation related blogs that are including embedded YouTube videos in their posts. Once thing that I notice right away about embedded YouTube videos is the fact that they all look the same. They all have the same standard format and look plain. I decided to step things up and create a way to style and spice up the YouTube videos that you can display on your blog. I have created something I call, YouTube Layouts. By using my special YouTube Layouts, you can show off all your favorite YouTube videos on your blog, but also show them off with a unique and creative style, both adding a huge service to your blog readers. Here is an example below:

If you would like to view a selection of YouTube Layouts for your blog, please visit my YouTube Layouts Home Page. If you would like to learn more about YouTube Layouts and read my press release please visit here.
