How to make a Youtube video.

To make a Youtube video of your corrido follow these instructions. This should allow folks to post recordings in Blogger.

1. Take a jpg (just from any photo of your project, or a photo related to your project) 
2. Take the mp3 you made in audacity. 
3. Then, use this program: http://www.mp32u.net/uploadjpg.php 

 Hope that helps!
