Easy YouTube Plugin There are a number of different ways to embed YouTube videos into your wordpress site. You can add them manually by pasting in code from YouTube in the HTML page, but the easiest way I have found to do this is by using a Plugin called Easy YouTube. You can download the Plugin from here. Instructions below

1. Go to YouTube or Google Videos and find the video you want to put on your site.
2. Copy the URL of the page, e.g. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nTRfxikK9aQ
3. In Wordpress, add the tag: ["youtube:URL"] or ["googlevideo:URL"] (without the inverted commas) replacing the URL text with the URL you copy and pasted from YouTube. So, it will look something like this – again, without the inverted commas ["youtube:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nTRfxikK9aQ"]
4. Hit save and bask in the wonder of your new media rich site!
