How to add a YouTube Video in StBlogs
In this tutorial I will show you how to embed a YouTube video into a StBlogs post.
Step 1: Make sure the Viper Video Plugin is enabled. To do this, login as the administrator and click on the “Plugins” tab at the top righthand of the page. If the Viper Video Plugin is not already activated then go ahead and activate it by clicking the “activate” link under the “Action” column.
Step 2: Find the YouTube code of your video.
Step 3: When you go to “write” a new blogpost, simply add the following script you see below where you want the video to appear. Remember to replace the center text with the code you found on YouTube.
Step 4: Test it!

06 Oct 2008 Catholic Tech Tips
If you are someone who feels very strongly about pulling your content from YouTube, I respect your opinion. I am pretty upset by this myself, however, YouTube could care less if we pull our videos or leave them. I think Catholics need to be present on YouTube (now owned by Google.) If we abandon YouTube all together then it will only be a darker place for others who visit.
So in my opinion we should continue to post our good, Christian content to YouTube as well as the alternative sites.
I’m one of the ex YouTubers, and I’m kinda bummed about giving up this WordPress YouTube plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-youtube/
It worked brilliantly. Once activated, just plop the video url in your post and add a “v” to httpv://www . . . Then just center the url and preview it. Good up to WP version 2.6.2
Thanks for providing this much needed site!
