How to put YOUTUBE.com video link into special format to post video in my blog?
-
I AM QUOTING FROM FAQ:
“found the video above on this page. To embed it in the post all I had to do was copy and paste the URL this:”
The original url was:youtube.com/watch?v=2y1Vty1hjZU
“I just linked and then paste it into the post with special formatting, like this”:
[youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=_dIya1aJJKA]
HOW WAS THAT DONE? How do you change the normal url to that? Please help
Thanks…

Its very, very easy. Type the following into the HTMl text editor:
[youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=
After the = sign, type in the rest of the url from YouTube, then type the ] bracket.
I have a video embedded at:
http://imnotmarah.wordpress.com/2006/06/18/admin-admin-where-art-thou/
This is my HTML to embed the video:
[youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=rYe-MCwlkPE&eurl=http%3a%2F%2Fwww.fuckedgoogle.com%2F]
This was the original YouTube url before I embedded it using the [ ] tags:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYe-MCwlkPE&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuckedgoogle.com%2F
I really hope that helps. If it doesn’t be sure to post here again so somebody “expert” will try to–I’ve been using WP for less than 2 weeks.

Not sure why you felt the need to ask this very same question three times in three different threads within 6 hours. :(
That’s probably not something you need to be doing, OK? :)
