New: Beta Test - YouTube Video Embedding for Blogs
Entry #662962
** Beta testing and use of video embedding is available to Premium+ Members. **
Greets,
The new WritingML embed tag can be used within Book Items (blogs, etc) to directly embed YouTube videos into blog entries and book chapters. Videos make for great commentary and, along with photos, make great multimedia aids and provide wonderful fodder for bloggers.
Some Notes and Instructions: The new WritingML embed tag can only be used within Book Items (blogs, etc). It will not work anywhere else within Writing.Com.
The tag takes 2 arguments, a "source type" and a URL.
* The only "source type" presently available is youtube.
* The URL is just a copy and paste of the URL that you provides under the video's info. It should look like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYZ6rbPU2M
Only one embed tag may be used per entry.
An Example: {center}{embed:youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYZ6rbPU2M}{/center}
Given that "youtube" is the only source type, the tag will basically look like this:
{embed:youtube:URL}
Now, for your creative entertainment, the above tag yields the following:
