while you are waiting for an answer, youtube is pretty easy. there is an embed code feature right on their viewing screen. i keep this code on hand and substitute the url. you can also dial in the size.
i just paste this in the “code mode” when writing the post.
<object height="355" width="425">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cMNW51-RmwU&rel=1"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><ibed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></ibed>
To add to the previous solution, I found that Youtube doesn’t work too well with the theme I am using – it threw out the sidebar and otherwise messed up the pages. To fix this I installed the Anarchy Media Player and the videos work fine now.
Thanks very much, Ron and Xavier. I’ll try this out.
I believe i gave you code that cause some validation errors. This should be error free…
