Handy YouTube Addition

Handy little addition to Youtube I spotted the other day: you can now specify exactly the width (or height) of an embed code for a YouTube video. This has been niggling me since the service upped the default width to wider than the column size of this blog. I had to manually work out the height and width and modify the embed code, which was a complete pain.

Simple addition, but it'll make life so much easier.

Good spot. I've been using that for a month or so now and it's very useful. Always annoyed me when embedding videos as needed them 600 width.

Yep ive attempted to use the different sizes whilst embedding on my blog. But regardless what sizae i choose it still always defaults to the usual size!

The only way around it was to VODPOD to code the video for me where i can then adjust it to whatever size i want! ie 625! :) :)
