Wordpress has plugin for every basic and advanced functionality. Youtube Videos can be embedded in number of ways in your blog using Wordpress. You can directly copy and paste the video embed code in ‘HTML’ view of post editor.
But, this method has drawback - video will work fine but if you go to edit mode of the post with Youtube Video and save it again, video code will break and it will no longer display. Here is a simple and effective way to embed Youtube Video (of course without using any plugin).
- Login into Wordpress and click on ‘write’.
- Click on Kitchen Sink button on the right (marked ‘1′ in image above).
- In toolbar below, click insert/ edit embedded media (marked ‘2′).
In the insert / edit embedded media popup window, paste the URL against file/URL field and its all done. You can further customize video display unit with number of option (check advanced tab for more). Is there more easy and effective method to embed Youtube Videos, than this?
I use vodpod to insert videos into my wordpress and blogger blogs. It is easy and convenient, allowing me to describe the videos and post them in one easy step without opening my blog(s).
Yes I think vodpod is better way to post embed videos
I am using Smart Youtube plugin in my WP blog. I feel that is very simple.
