Hey this Youtube video is absolutelly easy included into this wordpress blog post.
As I found Claus’ Blog posting about

WordPress YouTube Plugin

,I thougt about giving it a try. It works really perfect and the most important: It’s easy – perfect for dummies.

And this is how it works:

Download the file youtube_v1.1.zip and extract youtube.php to the plugin-folder: /wp-content/plugins/.
Activate the plugin “Youtube” on the WordPress admin screen. Finished!

Download it at the author’s page. When writing a simple post or page, just write [y-outube ID] and your complete! And replace “y-outube” with “youtube”. Sorry for that, this is just to show you the code.
The ID must be replaced with the video (case sensitive) id out of youtube…

Sample http://youtube.com/watch?v=NopuJ_OYjsk
In this case the ID number is: NopuJ_OYjsk
So just write: [y-outube NopuJ_OYjsk]
And replace “y-outube” with “youtube”. Sorry for that, this is just to show you the code.

Easy, isn’t it? Thanks to Claus!
