A button can be added to the editor tool bar for your site. To embed YouTube videos in a blog or other type of post:
  1. Visit the YouTube page with the video you'd like to post.
  2. Copy the YouTube video's web address video 
    ex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTbj0Wyx12Q
  3. Create a new blog post of event.
  4. Insert the cursor where you'd like the video to be inserted, click the YouTube icon in the editor tool bar (just above the body field).
  5. Paste the address copied in step #2 into the 'Youtube URL' field, stick with the default size, click Insert.
  6. You should now see a big orange box placeholder for the video. 
  7. Submit the post.
If you need to edit a YouTube address, select the video box in the edit form and click the YouTube button.
