Posting YouTube Videos to WordPress Blogs
Because of the way wordpress corrects invalid XHTML this is the best way to post YouTube videos…..
YouTube suggests:
<object height="350" width="425">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCOx24TsBPI"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object> <object height="350" width="425">
<param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCOx24TsBPI" name="movie"></param>
<param value="transparent" name="wmode"></param></object>
Convert this to:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCOx24TsBPI" height="350" width="425">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rCOx24TsBPI"></param> </object>
