   I AM QUOTING FROM FAQ:
   "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...

   Its very, very easy. 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.

   Not sure why you felt the need to ask this very same question three times in three different threads within 6 hours. :(

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