 * First of all: i love the P2theme. Thx very much for sharing it!
 * I wonder if we can use some BBcode, like [youtube=…] that i don’t know of? It
   would make it much easier to post links. Now i’ve a workaround, where i post 
   a post, and then edit the post via the wordpress interface for adding urls. It
   would be easier if i could post something like [url=….]name of website[/url]
 * Again, maybe it’s there and i just don’t know 🙂
 * Best
    Martin

 * Take a look at shortcodes.
