NEW SOFTWARE MEANS EVERYTHING IS EASIER NOW.

You can just copy the full URL from any of the following sites:

youtube, vimeo, facebook, google, metacafe

and then put the link in between the {VIDEO} and {/VIDEO} tags.. using straight brackets instead of squiqqly ones of course.

There is also a helpful "insert video" icon at the top of the create post box that will automatically put those tags on your link for you. All you have to do is hit that, paste the URL, and then hit enter. BOOM.

EASY.

What in the bloody hell was happening in that dancing vid?!
 
What if I have no fucking idea how to use "tags"

Then all you have to do is make sure you're in the post editor (full version, not quick), select the video id, and hit the youtube button/icon at the top. It will surround the id number for you with the tags.
