Those of you who, like me, were using WordPress<\/a> for a very long time, as well as those who got into WordPress recently, probably don’t know that WordPress can embed images and videos into posts and pages without using any plugins at all. \u00a0Even though there are plenty of plugins available (for example, Smart YouTube<\/a>), you don’t always need them.<\/p>\n

As per WordPress Embeds<\/a> page, all you need to do is add URL to image or video in your post or page. \u00a0Just make sure that the URL stands on its own line and that it’s not linked. \u00a0Alternatively, you can use [embed<\/em>] short code. WordPress supports quite a few popular sites – YouTube, Vimeo, Revision3, Flickr, \u00a0Google Video, and more. \u00a0The support is based on the oEmbed<\/a> format.<\/p>\n

Of course you’ll get more power with specialized plugins, but for many bloggers out there this built-in support will be more than enough.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
