Hey guys, I've looked all around and I cannot figure this shit out. A lot of people have youtube videos embedded in their newsposts. How do you do that?

When creating/editing a news post, you click the "embed" box above the text input field and paste in the embedding code from youtube. (NOT the URL or permalink, there is a specific "embed" code that will be below the permalink on the right hand side of the youtube video)

Go on a Youtube Video, on the right hand side you will see an Embedded link, copy that, then go on your news post, click Embed and paste the link in.

Oh snap, you have a video on your news post.

I KNEW i was gonna feel like an idiot by the time this was done. :P If I remember right, the embed code used to be underneath down where the share video stuff was. I didn't see that it was now underneath the authors comments. Haha. Thanks for the help guys.
