Tennis Tips

Instructions

Below are two tennis tips with draft information. Each tip has multiple parts, or points, and each point of a tip can have more than 1 video to illustrate it. Please format each tip and then insert and configure the designated YouTube clip to illustrate each point. Format as a single page below for this task — once published, each tip will be published on a separate page. Review the logic of the format, since the html outline tends to get messed up when copying and pasting between browser windows of different sites.

Try both of these plugins and decide which works best for this kind of tip sheet: EmbedPlus or TubePress. Both have been installed and activated.
