ummm, how do I embed say a youtube video in a standard blog post??
<shame>
You will need to copy the 'embed' HTML code for youTube: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pQpr3W-YmcQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pQpr3W-YmcQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> and in the Creat Post page you will need to use the HTML entry option of the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor. You can find that in the toolbar, it's a button with 'HTML' on it. You will get a popup text entry where you paste the HTML you copied from YouTube etc. Hope that helps :) -Martin evangelist schrieb:

Thanks for that - it works but I think I will need to figure out some sort of
hack to embed objects like this as it needs to be simpler for a lot of users.
It needs some sort of embed button or some simpler hack because it may well
scare off a lot of my prospective users but you never know ;) I guess if they
REALLY want to embed a video, they will figure it out ;)
Thanks again Martin
