If you want to embed a youtube video here on the WTC forums, you need to do the following:

1)  Go to the video on youtube.  For example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=akmJiJreR3g

2)  Copy the "Embed" code

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/akmJiJreR3g&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/akmJiJreR3g&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

3) Remove everything except for the <EMBED> tag (without the closing tag)

<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/akmJiJreR3g&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355">

4)  Paste this into your forum post

5)  Enjoy accolades from fellow club members for having entered the 5'th ring of computer geekdom
