Video embedding success!!
2008-Apr-18, Friday 02:13 pmSo, like many of you, I occasionally like to embed Youtube or other video media into my journal, just for the shits and grins.
Well today I was finally able to find the 'correct' means of doing it on LJ since they borked up their code to stop allowing just a direct object/embed link to be used.
So, for all those who do it as well, please start using the <lj-embed> tag since that will grab the correct video, rather than using the first cached one on the browser. I know I will. It surrounds the object code, and it does have a close tag after the close object tag.
