How to embed YouTube videos into a post

along the same lines not a video but a picture each time i try to embed a photo from flickr it tells me this extension is not allowed?

First, since this thread was created the process for YouTube has changed, now you can just paste in a youtube link and it will autoembed.

Flickr makes it a little tricky to get the URL of the actual photo, the URL it gives you if you click share is actually the URL of the web page. To get the URL of a photo itself, starting from a photo page like this:

Right-click (in most browsers on Windows) on the photo and choose something like "view image". That will load the photo itself in its own tab, and you can then copy that URL (that ends in .jpg) and use it to embed an image.

how do you get animated images into your signature? I have to make a website to have a photoshopped animation as my signature?

The sig I just made is a .gif file... the fighting sioux part blinks in the real GIF I made, pretty simple but I want it to happen and don't know how post the photo as it normally is..
