Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

YouTube Plugins are nothing new but I like to add my own approach to every plugin. This plugin allows the insertion

of a video ID for displaying with a specific post. The video is displayed instantly. This differs from plugins that

may allow a single video to be added using an entire widget – not great use of a widget in my opinion. The YouTube

widget management would become very busy if every widget was THAT basic. So the widgets in YouTube Sidebar will handle

multiple videos and even ads when no videos are available.

If this still is not enough. Try my Video Blogger plugin which allows the display of videos from other streaming

sites and offers other unique approaches to video management.
