WordPress 2.9.1
January 8th, 2010 // 9:48 am @ DKidd
So I have just updated this site to version 2.9.1, and it is working quite well. I have just noticed the coolest thing.. I think it was implemented in WordPress 2.9, but either way, if you put a url in your post is like a link for a video from Flickr or something. Just putting this url in your post, with nothing else special, will embed the video straight in the post.

Even though the URL is for the page that the image or in this case video is on, WordPress is smart enough to embed the video for us right into wordpress. We could put the embed code around the URL and it will do the same thing, but with the embed tag in wordpress we can make the video/picture a particular size. so like this is an embed width=200
