Very Cool Matt. The day after I set up a video blog site you go and make this really easy to do on this board.

So to test it out I will post the liquivision vytec video again.

UPDATE:

I've updated the video tags to reflect changes in youtube and vimeo url formats. This will mean that past embeds are likely broken and not rendering properly. If you are the author of those posts, feel free to update the links to reflect these changes.


The original post has been updated with these changes but here they are again:


The youtube url is now set to the link provided by YT's "Share" button:

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://youtu.be/ZV6Bsym9wmU[/youtube]
[youtube]http://youtu.be/ZV6Bsym9wmU[/youtube]


The vimeo url is now set to work without the "www", so just copy and paste from the url bar at the top of your browser.

(Note the "http:" vs "https:", for not signed into vimeo versus signed in users.)

Code: Select all
