Am also wondering how one can start a thread with information or info and a video? Is there somewhere on this site that leads us to do so?

Aha! On my first try I think the link included my favorites play list. I unchecked the "share with playlist" button and then copied the shorter link.

Thanks for posting this technique for adding youtube videos to DU posts.

and look at videos and find someone posted some link that eventually lead to the video, so I figured it was time to geek out and show people how its done..
