Katie and Andy’s posterous

UPDATE: And a comment regarding embedding YouTube videos. If you operate a weblog or videoblog online and like to embed your own content please edit the HTML code to display your videos at YouTube's highest quality.

One of the annoying parts of browsing YouTube for me is clicking "watch in high quality," or "watch in HD" at each video and waiting for the page to refresh. Even when I know that there's probably a higher quality of the video at YouTube's site, embedders often use YouTube's quick embed code to place low quality videos on their website. This isn't the way videos were meant to be watched.  Here's how:

1. Copy and paste the code above. 
   
2. Replace "YOURVIDEOCODEHERE" with the alpha numerical junk that appears after the "v=" symbol in the YouTube URL.  
3. Adjust the size to your site specs.  For posterous users its generally w: 480 h:295
4. Click Play!
