I thought it might be good to try this on a short term basis at least....


So you can now embed a youtube clip directly in your post and its very easy to do.

When you click to create or edit a post, there is now a new button near the Img/URL/Flash buttons called "youtube". Click on that and then paste in the youtube unique ID between the 2 tags.

Example:

The youtube clip url is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8UCOBajM9o

You click the youtube tags and you see:

youtube][/youtube] (I removed one of the sq brackets to show the code)

Paste the end part of the youtube link - the bit after the equals sign:

youtube]P8UCOBajM9o[/youtube] (I removed one of the sq brackets to show the code)




Enjoy!

If we run into bandwidth issues I might have to pull the facility, but hopefully it won't come to that.....


Go forth and post!
