WordPress

You might be pleased to learn that I have enabled the embedding of YouTube videos into comments, i.e. instead of just simply putting a text link to a YouTube video, you can now insert the video into your comment!

To do so, simply add the letter “v” to the “http” part of the video URL.

For example, if the YouTube video has the following URL:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUTCWLoD4-4

Simply add the “v” to “http” to embed it into your comment, like so:

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUTCWLoD4-4

You can see a live demo of the plug-in at this comment.

For those who would like to enable the same feature on their self-hosted WordPress blog, you’ll need the Smart YouTube plug-in.
