EMBEDDING YOUTUBE VIDEOS (So simple, even a Republican can do it.)

1. While editing your post, notice the icon. CLICK IT.
2. {YT}{YT} will appear.
3. Look at the panel to the right of the YOUTUBE video you want to embed. See the URL, copy whatever comes after the first "=" in the URL. If you see an "&" stop with the last character before it.


For example...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E06cNv55jTs&feature=rec-fresh would become E06cNv55jTs .


4. Paste that code between the Youtube tags that appeared when you clicked . {YT}E06cNv55jTs{YT}

That is it, edit the rest of the post as you normally would, probably without any spell check!

actually [*yt*][*/yt*] and not {*yt*}{*/yt*}

just add everything between the = and the & sign.

I used the different symbols so that they would display, instead of being converted like tags are supposed to be.

Another note, if the video on Youtube says embedding disabled, then dont attempt to embed the video here. You will end up with a message saying the video has been removed, or something like that.
