Embed a YouTube video in WordPress posts

When I tried to embed a video on another blog post the other day I did a quick “Google” to see what was involved in the process, to my surprise, rather pleasantly I discovered all you need to do is put the URL of the video you wish to embed straight into the post editor.

For example, I would use the following code to embed the video (no quotes):

“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FFRoYhTJQQ”

And this would be the result:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FFRoYhTJQQ
