[/size]

Cick the “Video” drop-down menu above (in the post menu) and select the provider of the video you would like to add. Two tags will be generated that you need to insert your link between. The tags will look like this

[b]{video type=youtube}{/video}[/b]

In the example of youtube, you navigate to the video you want to post. You will have see the link in your browser that will look like this “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOHq1iSD4Z0”

You need to enter in the ID number of the video, in this case it would be “EOHq1iSD4Z0”. So your tags would look like this:

[b]{video type=youtube}EOHq1iSD4Z0{/video}[/b]

This is the general idea on how to add videos, some times you will see a tag that has the “http://” in it also. In this case it indicates you need to enter a full link to the video

So If your tags are generated looking like this:
[b]
{video type=flash}http://{/video}[/b]

it would indicate you would need to enter the entire link to the file, not just an ID number.
