YouTube Support on UQ Library Blogs

Blogs > General Library Blog

I've added a very simple little plugin that allows UQLBloggers to embed a YouTube video in their blog posts.

To enable it, log into your blog, go to the 'plugins' menu and click 'activate' next to the 'YouTube' plugin. From then on, any time you type something like this:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne_WXP7lUWM]

it will result in something like this:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne_WXP7lUWM]

(This is a humorous video which I have never watched - apparently it is about libraries)

Note that the actual video remains at YouTube, it is not hosted on any library servers so it will count as internet traffic on quotas.

Thanks to Jennifer Creese for the idea and Robert Buzink for writing this plugin.
