    You have to edit in the html section of your template.
    Look for: .top-bar-social #social a:before {
    Add this code in there for youtube. Add it under the complete Facebook code.

    .top-bar-social .youtube:before {
    content: "\f167";
    }
    .top-bar-social #social a.youtube:hover {
    background-color: #bb0000;
    }

    Then in the layout, add youtube for the social media and under that your youtube url.

    Having another problem btw, seems like the carousel at start wont show any image if in the article i embeded a youtube video.

    like this

    the only workaround i have found is upload my videos to blogger, but that takes views from my channel, any idea on how to make the carousel dont care if i embed a video?

    Very sweet, but I am a woman….LOL
    for the carousel, just add a photo and a link to your Youtube channel video.
    Make sure you add a label in your posts. The label should be the same in the carousel widget.

    didnt tought about that, get a image of the video with a hiperlink to the video on youtube, thats a nice way

    but isnt there a way to embed videos normally in a article and dont screw the carousel?

    Slideshows use images, not videos. Make sure there is a photo first.

    there is a pic before but it seems it doesnt recognice it when a video is embeded.

    In this exercise ill edit the one at the left, the articled titled “asad al asahi” with the picture of a cartoon (gibberish name, it doesnt mean anything). The article looks like this

    just a line of “aaaaa” and then and image and it works. now im gonna edit it, ill add some Lorem Ipsum as text and a embed video from youtube. The final code of the article looks like this. It has the tags “texto” and “series”. The tag “texto” is the one im using for the carousel.

    now it has a tittle, a image, several text paragraphs and a video embeded. The article looks like this:

    But now when im going to the homepage of the blog it appears like this

    The image dissapeared, but the tittle “asad al asahi” is still there in white words, also you can read the author, timestamp and the tag but it doenst have an image and doesnt redirect you to the article if you click in the blank space.

    Any help will be great, oh my lady coder, defeater of the template, guardian of the webpage :)

    Add this above </b:skin>

    .carousel-item .foot-mag-thumb {
        height: 350px;
        position: relative;
        width: 100%;
        display: block;
    }
    
    Then look for:
    

    var src2 = data.feed.entry[i].media$thumbnail.url;
    Immediately after that, add this below it.
    `src2 = src2.replace(“s72-c”, “s640”);

    the code looked like this

    View post on imgur.com

    You have an extra character before src2. Remove this ‘

    should be:
    src2 = src2.replace(“s72-c”, “s640”);

    hi again,

    tried that but it didnt worked, the carousel dissapeared and all the images get blurry

    Then i experimented

    and deleted this full piece of the code

    View post on imgur.com

    Now its working!!!, with that change it doesnt take into account the videos, only the images in the articles for the carousel

    Thanks for all your help LindyLou, you are the real MVP

    You are welcome. It is difficult to show a video in a carousel.
