I just found a great plugin for your Wordpress blog. You may have had problems embedding YouTube videos into your blog posts. I did and found the perfect solution. If you are currently hosting a blog on your site like I am, you may have found that you cannot use the following notation to embed YouTube videos into your blog:
[ youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4D2kiekQOI ]
This code works only if you have your blog at http://www.wordpress.com, but not if it is not your site. I just tried out this plugin that allows you to use that simple bracket code.
Get this amazing plugin here, called Youtube Brackets:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/youtube-brackets/
Download the plugin and upload the single plugin file to your Wordpress plugin directory, which might look like this:
/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
Once you upload the plugin file there, go to your Wordpress administration control panel and head over to the Plugins section. Activate the plugin called Youtube Brackets and write your blog post. Use the bracket code I have above. Make sure you remove the extra spacing from it. I had to do that to prevent the code from being converted into a YouTube video. Now you should be able to embed YouTube videos easily now.

I couldn’t get the plug in to download? Any ideas why?
You can try downloading the plugin directly from this link:

Whatz up Guru, I fell lucky that I located this post while browsing for music downloading sites. I am with you on the topic of Add YouTube Videos to Your Self-hosted Wordpress Blog | Constant Limit. Ironically, I was just putting a lot of thought into this last Tuesday.
Cheers, Regarding downloading music sites which I read on Monday. I think we might disagree on this, but I still appreciate your comment on Add YouTube Videos to Your Self-hosted Wordpress Blog | Constant Limit.
Sentimental and nostalgic. Great.
