YouTube Post question

[proparc]

Okay all you super smart stunt cats, how do you post a YouTube video here,(it will be worth it he-he).

[Steve Helmick]

I tried it before and failed. But here's (maybe) "Howard's Song".... Nope, it won't work.    But it should.  Steve

Well, here's the link, anyway. To do this, I used the "globe icon". The same url is in between the You Tube "doodads" (a technical term used by those of us who are webguys) below, but it doesn't work. No idear (sic) why not!   

If you crick on the You Tube icon, you'll note that there's "youtube=425,350" in the first pair of brackets. The equal sign and numbers don't make sense to me, so I tried deleting them. Hmmm....didn't work. I hope someone can 'splain what's the deal! Meanwhile, keep on bumping it up....

Thanks Steve.
I am going to try it. If I can do this, look for my post, I think you will like it.

That is exactly what I would like to do. How did you do it?

If this works as I understand Robert's instructions, it should be pretty cool. Just copy and paste everything to the right of "v=" in the url in between the bracketed You Tube dealy bobs...crick on the icon third row from the bottom, third from the left....let's see if she go now!  Steve

Edit: Now this is pissing me off! It says this video is no longer available, and yet I've just listened to it once, and it's almost through a third time. I really don't get that!

The other thing to try is to just right click on Robert's (or Rootbeard's) post with a You Tube vid and then click "show source". It'll show all the html code, which is kinda bewildering at first, but it's how all this crap works, and it really wouldn't hurt to know something about it. It's why & how I got the job of the NW Skyraider's website guy. Ol' whatzizname...
