I know I am late because Mother’s Day was this past Sunday. I didn’t actually forget, thank you very little, I just found a neat plugin that I wanted to try out called Smart Youtube that lets you embed youtube videos into your WordPress site really easily. I posted this video on my mom’s Facebook wall to remind her of what it is like when I am home. Here goes nothing…

Here is the code required just to link a video using the plugin. I had a hard time showing the code because the plugin reads it wherever you put it…so in case you can’t tell you simply just add a lower case v after the http in the normal address.

Just add &start=# where # is the second you want it to start at.

Also if you want to do the HD version of the video from youtube, this plugin supports the 720p option. The reason why I didn’t us it on that video is because it didn’t have a 720p option. So here is that…

For this you add an hd (for high definition) after the v. As far as I know I know it just automatically selects the highest quality available for that video but I may be wrong on that one.

There is also another option where you can play a play list:
