This is a great enhancement. You can now add embedded Google and YouTube videos to your posts.
When creating a post, check the 'Add Tags:' menu. Towards the right, you'll see a Google button and a YouTube button.
Clicking either of them creates their respective tags in your post.
You need to enter the relevant video IDs, the format of which differs depending upon whether your using Google or YouTube.
Here's an example, to show you how it works. The video is called Who Killed John O'Neill?
The Google Video web address is:
video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=1981225573970187433&q
To embed the video, simply insert the docid (everything between the '=' and the '&', including the '-' if one is present) between the Google video tags, and you should end up with this:
[gvid]1981225573970187433[/gvid]
When you 'Preview' your post, you won't see the video, you'll simply see the tags and docid. You'll only see the video when you actually post your comment.
PM me if you have any problems.
