Thanks for posting that. Does that work for other video-hosting services? (What would you put in the [youtube] boxes?)

I haven't set up any other vid services because there hasn't been demand, but if you demand one I will surely set it up.

that would put the {youtube] [/youtube} tags around your code for you, is all.

maybe that would lead to over-youtubing though. does it impact the cellar servers when we link and watch youtube vid, or is it all on the you tube servers?

The Cellar takes no hit at all for embedded videos. It's just another post.

The tags translate to embed codes.
