Been searching for a bit and can't find what I need.

How do I embed a Youtube video in a post?

Hi Chilihead,

First, start your YouTube video running and copy the URL in the address line. Then, in your post, click on the "youtube" button and paste the URL you coped in between the brackets enclosing the word "youtube." Finally, delete everything from the pasted URL EXCEPT the stuff that comes right after the equal sign. For example, here's the URL for one of my videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhJOSk50j8g You just need "FhJOSk50j8g" in between the brackets. No spaces or anything else.
