Add You-Tube or Google Video to your post

Wondering if you can embed a You-Tube or Google video into your blog post? Good news... You can and it's easy!

When typing your blog (or forum post, etc.), just type in ["video:VIDEO_URL"] into the window (only leave out the quotation marks). Replace the words VIDEO_URL with the web address to your desired video. For example, for a google sailing video has the following the following URL (this appears at the top of your browser): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-780502281121234524

To have this show up in a post, I would simply type in ["video:THAT_ADDRESS"] without the quotes... Here's the command in action... You'll notice that I centered the video. I just used the paragraph
formatting buttons in the toolbar to do this. Either put the cursor at
the start of the command or highlight the whole command and then click
on the centered text icon. That's it.
