Justin pointed me toward a plugin to make embedding YouTube videos easer. It’s called EasyTube, and now that I’ve installed it, all you have to do to embed a video is type a tag like this:

[y0utube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=QOqXlbWf9Io] except change that zero to an ‘o’, and this is what you’ll get:

The same tag format works for Google Videos by substituting ‘googlevideo’ instead of ‘youtube’
e.g. [g0oglevideo:URL]

And if you want to, you can resize it like this… [y0utube:URL WIDTH HEIGHT]

So this… [y0utube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=uR88nKyKj3U 250 166]

Becomes this (click, plz):^*
