Youtube Videos

Inserting YouTube videos into a post is easy. 

When making a comment show a youtube video, you only need the webaddress url of the video (not the embed code).  
 

Simply ---

1. Go to Youtube.com and find the video you wish to have in a post.
2. You do not need the embed code, just the web address of the video
3. Copy just the url link for that video (while watching you can just copy that from your address area or they have a special field for that).
4.  In the comments forum where you are making a post, paste in the video web address.
5.  Next, select it (highlight it), 
6. Click the special button: 
7. It will insert special code like this:  [flash]your youtube video address is here [/flash]
8.  When you click Submit (or Preview) you can see your video displayed in your post.
 

You can also display "shockwave" flash presentations.

You need Flash to view this object

This is to demo that the YouTube feature also will let you show any flash file (that's with an swf extension). This is just a demo... for your amusement. Don't take the message too seriously.
