Well lets face it my site really needs a change, it's just crap at the moment.

Anyway a couple weeks ago I thought about making my site for video blogging as that's what I mainly do via YouTube so I was looking for some themes for that however everything I found that I liked you had to upload the video rather it automatically post from YouTube, which is what I'd like, but I can't find anything, so can anybody help me???

You can place the video embed code from youtube (and most other sites) directly into a Wordpress blog post without any kind of mod. Do this on the HTML side of the editor.

Alternately, you can install a plug-in which adds embed buttons to the visual side of the Wordpress editor.

Of course, users who wish to embed videos will need to be an "Author" to have authority to embed HTML. If you really trust your users, this is fine but it's a security risk, otherwise.

There are plug-ins which allow youtube embeds inside Wordpress comments.

Here are a few plug-ins that might help.

That's why I chose it. It works splendidly. And thus far, the author has been keeping it updated, like some other plug-ins that have fallen by the wayside.

Will any of these add my past videos, or just new ones, cause I don't like to copy the embed code, and post a new topic each time I upload a new video, cause sometimes it's like 7 a day.

Not that I know of (Smart YouTube). I'm not a prolific video maker, so I don't have a need for a batch video plug-in.
