Indeed, YouTube

It's become rather popular has YouTube, and I'm not really surprised, but in terms of my Content Management System I'd not really thought about it until I did the Christopher's Fund website. The owner had put links to her daughters singing videos into an article she was writing, and it got me thinking.

So a few hours coding, and a few tweaks later, I added the YouTube tag.

[YOUTUBE, L/R/N,URL]

The L/R/N specifies one of Left, Right or No wrap for positioning, and the URL is the one YouTube helpfully supplies.

This simple little tag automatically embeds the code for you into a page.

Sarah, the owner of Christopher's Fund had this to say about it -

.... Pete has added a special You Tube link thingy so that I can link some of Katherine's performances from the last charity night for people to see. ....

I think she's happy with it.

Now I can't promise I will cook up a new TAG for the CMS for all and sundry, but I do consider any and all suggestions, and those I like and I think are useful, get added to the system.
