Oops, dude, it looks like you pasted in your URL without anything around it—so it's, like, invisible.

It looks like GH's YouTube tags aren't working, either, even when they are included. So I'll save everyone a bit of trouble and embed the video's URL here.

Yeah, I think it's something on GH's end, as normally pasting the link alone works fine, and I think it did yesterday too. Still, I pasted in a direct URL; thanks for pointing it out!
