Tutorial: How to post a video from Youtube

Posting videos is essentially the same as posting a picture, except instead of right clicking on a picture and getting the property Url address, you are copying and pasting the Embed Code from the video.  here are the steps to do so.  I hope this helps:

Go to Youtube and click on the video you want to share.  On the right hand corner next to the video there is the user's info on who "owns" the video.  below you will see two links; one is the URL and the the one below it is the Embed Code.

 An embed code should look like this: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v-4T8Wk-I-E&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v-4T8Wk-I-E&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Highlight and copy the link.
If you want to explain your video type it first. put a little space before entering video then follow these directions:

click on the above tool bar and hit <> Embed Flash
once the box slides down, use the right mouse button again, click from the white text field it gives and hit paste, the embed code from Youtube should come up.  hit the green button that says embed Flash.
The toolbar will vanishand a red box with a F will appear in the text.  It shows your video has been set in your reply.  Hit submit if you're done.  and make sure your video works before you leave the thread.

Hope this helps anyone else who is having trouble embedding a video.  Please let me know if i need to exlpain this better for anyone.
