That's probably not something you need to be doing, OK? :)

Type the following into the HTMl text editor:

[youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=

After the = sign, type in the rest of the url from YouTube, then type the ] bracket.

I have a video embedded at:

http://imnotmarah.wordpress.com/2006/06/18/admin-admin-where-art-thou/

This is my HTML to embed the video:

[youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=rYe-MCwlkPE&eurl=http%3a%2F%2Fwww.fuckedgoogle.com%2F]

This was the original YouTube url before I embedded it using the [ ] tags:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYe-MCwlkPE&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fuckedgoogle.com%2F

I really hope that helps. If it doesn't be sure to post here again so somebody "expert" will try to--I've been using WP for less than 2 weeks.

"found the video above on this page. To embed it in the post all I had to do was copy and paste the URL this:"
The original url was:

youtube.com/watch?v=2y1Vty1hjZU

"I just linked and then paste it into the post with special formatting, like this":

[youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=_dIya1aJJKA]

HOW WAS THAT DONE? How do you change the normal url to that? Please help

Thanks...
