Well I was looking through the features to add and trying to find some way
to possibly contribute.   I noticed the youtube integration on LOVDBYLESS is
a little unusual in that you include a youtube video by using: [youtube:
address_of_video].  It then puts a link in your post that when clicked opens
the video in a popup.  It works, but I was hoping to find a way to actually
get the video embedded directly in the post so you could see it as a
preview.

I was able to hard code the following example in my view and it works
perfect:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="
http://www.youtube.com/v/Gzj723LkRJY&hl=en";></param><param name="wmode"
value="transparent"></param><embed src="
http://www.youtube.com/v/Gzj723LkRJY&hl=en";
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425"
height="355"></embed></object>

When I put it in a post it gets stored, however when the page source is
rendered it has been completely removed.  I wasn't sure exactly what was
removing it.  I more or less just trying to understand a lot of this right
now.  I think I need to hit the books some more...this stuff might be above
my abilities at this point.
