  I just put in a youtube clip into a posting. I’m wondering if I did it correctly or not. It seems to take a long time loading; and then plays only a few seconds at a time.

  Anyone know what I may have done incorrectly?

  Thanks!

  What’s your url? What method did you use? (ie – [youtube=its url]) ?

  Thanks. The url I used simply was the one designated by youtube (that I found in my browser). I just copied and pasted it into the posting.

  I mean the url of your blog. A link please, starting with http. It’s hard to help without being able to see what’s happening.

  The page loaded just fine for me and I only watched the first minute of the video, but there was no rebuffering. There might have been a heavy load on that video or your connection might have had a hiccup.

  btw, the easiest way to put a youtube on your blog is this way:

  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCNIBV87wV4]

  That’s the example from your blog.

  Thanks very much for your help with this! It may be my own connection is simply slow today.
  Cheers.
