fyi: YouTube embeds

[par_avion]

YouTube has changed the way it provides the code for embedding a video in another page, and the new code as given doesn't work on Dreamwidth -- this is because the method their new code uses is blocked on DW for security reasons. (We're working on ways to make it work again just for YouTube, since we're pretty sure they're not evil. Well, no more than anybody is.)

Until we can fix it up, you'll need to slightly change the way you get the code from YouTube. after clicking the embed link three checkboxes will appear below the embed code. Click the one that says "use old embed". That should generate the right code for embedding.

Oh, thanks for posting about this! I tried to embed something the other day and it didn't work, but I just figured it's because of something I did wrong.
