This post covers my work on the Embedding Images and Video assignment from the HTML5 and CSS3 course from The Odin Project. This assignment practices embedding images and video into a recreation of the YouTube video player page.

Yikes, been a while since an Odin Project update was posted here! In the intervening months I've not progressed too far with the course, in fact I am still going through the JavaScript section just after the Google Homepage build.
