[Code] Embedding Youtube Videos Update

If you are receiving a white box with a little red "x" it's likely that the embed code you are trying to use is not fully being pasted into the blog. Below, you will find an example of the code you'd use:


[object width="425" height="344"][param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Mg3zesVdhSY&hl=en&fs=1"][/param][param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"][/param][param width="425" height="344" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Mg3zesVdhSY&hl=en&fs=1" value="always" name="allowscriptaccess"]

Replacing the [ with <> in the above code should result in the following embedded video:


Now, inside the blog you'll see the white box with the red "x"... This is normal. It's because the html WYSIWYG editor does not render the embedded code (likley for the sake of preventing a ton of addtional bandwidth usage).

Have fun and take care!
