Embedding YouTube videos to WP

I was having trouble embedding Youtube videos to my blog. The Wordpress theme would just freak out if I tried to embed the video. Then after some research on Google I finally made it work. Here is what I did:

1) I had to untick “Use the visual editor when writing” in Wordpress under Users>Your Profile. There is a video from Youtube showing how to do that:

2) After the first step the video was working, but the Wordpress theme was distorted. So after some further research I found WP-YouTube plugin for embedding the Youtube videos to the blog. You just have to upload the plugin to Plugins section on your server and activate it in the Wordpress theme.
Now whenever you want to post a video to your blog just type something like:

[video]NopuJsesUy[/video]

Instead of “NopuJsesUy” just write your YouTube ID. That’s it!
I hope this helps someone. Happy blogging!
