Heres how you properly embed a YOUTUBE video, NO OTHER VIDEO SITE HOSTS WORK (as on this posting):
Here is a standard Youtube URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5hWWe-ts2s

ONLY COPY everything AFTER the "v=" and then put around it like so:
[YT]k5hWWe-ts2s

then the final result:

k5hWWe-ts2s

This happens a lot. hope this helps.

If you have the picture, on your computer for eg, you need to load it onto a webpage somewhere, like Photobucket. If you find a picture on the net you use that url
