UPDATE: as of February 2009, this mu-plugin is being disabled for inefficiency and optionally available plugins will replace its functionality.
I’ve installed a new “mu-plugin”, that is, a plugin that is automatically enabled for every blog on PersonalLog’s hosting service. This adds new features:
Easily add videos to your post / page with a line or two
It’s really easy to add a video to your site, and we’ve done so at the demo blog to show you the output. But it’s as simple as adding the following:
[ youtube BxnYp0ID-rE ]
(I’ve placed spaces after and before the square brackets to prevent the plugin from turning it into a video.
The video ID, which can be found in the URL of a YouTube video (for instance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxnYp0ID-rE), is simply placed after the name of the video service, enclosed in [] (square brackets).
