YouTube Posting For Blog --> No Beta, Upgraded+

Greetings Members,

In "New: Beta Test - YouTube Video Embedding for Blogs" , we introduced the ability to embed YouTube videos into the entries of book items.

We're now moving that out of beta-testing and calling it "official" functionality. At the same time, we're also opening up the feature for use by Upgrade Members and above!

Here's a copy and paste of some info from the original post:

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=zlfKdbWwruY
Only one embed tag may be used per entry.

An Example:
{center}{embed:youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY}{/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:

Please let us know about any issues, suggestions, etc...

Enjoy!
