  I admit I embed the youtube stuff haphazardly; I try the youtube embed code, and wordpress seems to “figure it out”, such that when I’m back in edit mode, it looks a lot different (simpler, cleaner) than the way I put it in. Like, this is before:
  <object width=”425″ height=”355″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/FaHuzkyurC0&rel=1″></param><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/FaHuzkyurC0&rel=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”355″></embed></object>
  …and this is after:

  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaHuzkyurC0&rel=1]

  The album cover art you cited above as hanging up Safari just opened right up for me (from your post) in MSN Explorer, which is usually lame. Would you suggest I host an image like that elsewhere, like my own photobucket, or is that still “hotlinked”?
  I guess I should use that W3C link to diagnose my issues, then figure out how to fix them.
  Right now, the audio player is not playing the following 2 clips in any of my browsers:
  <p>[audio=http://www.musicwebtown.com/djeddieo/playlists/157889/1325521.mp3]</p>
  <p>[audio=http://www.musicwebtown.com/djeddieo/playlists/157889/1325495.mp3]</p>

  I just ran that W3C thing and had 60+ errors. It seems like it’s telling me that in many cases, I’m missing a “>”, “<” or an “a”; is it that simple or am I misreading it? Also, do the options “Validate error pages” and “Clean up Markup with HTML Tidy” fix things for me, or am I misreading that too (and guilty of wishful thinking)? Thanks for your assistance here; I really appreciate it.

  y’know, I’m not writing any of this code; I just make my posts in “visual” mode, using “add image” or “edit link”; The only code I “write” is when I type [audio=X], putting the mp3 location in the X. Could all these code errors be the result of the (gulp) browser I’m using at the time?
  When it says “An ‘id’ is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value”, does that mean that I should go in and rename them as ‘audioplayer2, 3, etc? :

  Line 263, Column 206: ID “audioplayer1” already defined .
  …yer.swf’ width=’290′ height=’24’ id=’audioplayer1′><param name=’movie’ value=✉

  Line 72, Column 206: ID “audioplayer1” first defined here .
