Just to spite you, I made another change.  I changed the red frame around the quote box to a gray frame.  If you see the red box around the quote below, hit refresh.

Media Link Test!  You can link a Google Video just by pasting the URL into a post and putting Media tags around it.  You can do this automatically with the Media button (just to the right of the URL/FTP/Image/E-Mail buttons) or by writing (Media)(/Media), just replace the parentheses with brackets.

Et tu, YouTube?



It looks like some YouTube videos work, and others don't.  Weird.
