Hello there - I have added the ability to embed YouTube videos right into your posts. Cool!

Step 1 - Obtain the Video Id
First you will need to know the video id of the video you want to embed. This is easy to obtain. When you are watching a YouTube video simply look in the address bar and the video id will be shown as a string of numbers/letters.

If we are watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm_BoaDxhpE then the video id here is Bm_BoaDxhpE

Step 2 - Inserting into Post
Simply wrap your video id in [youtube]...[/youtube] tags. For example, putting [youtube]Bm_BoaDxhpE[/youtube] gives us this (turn up your speakers!)...



Step 3 - Use Responsibly
Use your best judgment and do not post videos that are inappropriate, annoying or rude. Enjoy and have fun! :D
