WordPress strips the code when I try to embed a YouTube video. Their support page has one suggestion, but when I checked out the WordPress video plugins page, I found the anarchy media player.
It’s Australian and will let me embed all sorts of video formats. Here’s how it described itself:

Anarchy Media Player 1.6 for WordPress, WordPressMu and Standalone Javascript will play any simple href link to mp3, flv, Quicktime mov, mp4, m4v, m4a, m4b, 3gp as well as Windows wmv, avi and asf files, in the appropriate player on your web page. The WordPress versions also add buttons to the Rich Text Editor for embedding Flash swf and Director dcr movies as well as YouTube, Google Video, iFilm, DailyMotion, Revver, Metacafe, MySpace, Apple iTunes iMix, and GoEar players.

Sooo…I’ve downloaded the plugin and will use it to embed my “Happy Holidays” video in the next post.

(If you pay attention to such things, you’ll notice that this post wasn’t made on my blogger blog.
