How to embed a video in your post, version 2.0

As I posted in the other forum, with the new software comes new abilities, wooha!

As you see on top of the post box, you have a bunch of buttons to click:

Three of them being youtube, google, and vimeo. To embed a video from one of those sources, just go to the page the video is playing on, and look for the video ID. Here's where it shows up on vimeo:

And here it is on Youtube:

Vimeo is a bunch of numbers, while youtube is a bunch of random letters and numbers. You grab that part, copy it, and come back to the post window here. Hit the appropriate button for the site you're putting the video in from, and paste the video ID between the tags. The finished code should look like so:

It works the same way for Vimeo and Google (Although all google video is pretty much youtube now).

Questions? Feel free to ask.
