<h3>Performance Optimized</h3>
<p>While other YouTube plugins load a low-performing iframe when your page loads to show YouTube videos, Feeds for YouTube uses the YouTube API to retrieve and display your videos. This means your YouTube videos are loaded lightning fast and won’t slow down your visitor’s experience with your website. But we don’t stop there. Our YouTube plugin also waits until a site visitor interacts with your YouTube feed before adding the video player to the page. This results in visitors loving your site and encouraging them to stick around longer.</p>

Feeds for YouTube (YouTube video, channel, and gallery plugin)

The Feeds for YouTube plugin allows you to display customizable YouTube feeds from any YouTube channel.

<p>YouTube Plugins are nothing new but I like to add my own approach to every plugin. This plugin allows the insertion<br />
of a video ID for displaying with a specific post. The video is displayed instantly. This differs from plugins that<br />
may allow a single video to be added using an entire widget – not great use of a widget in my opinion. The YouTube<br />
widget management would become very busy if every widget was THAT basic. So the widgets in YouTube Sidebar will handle<br />
multiple videos and even ads when no videos are available.</p>
<p>If this still is not enough. Try my Video Blogger plugin which allows the display of videos from other streaming<br />
sites and offers other unique approaches to video management.</p>

<h3>Version Numbers and Updating</h3>
<p>Explanation of versioning used by myself Ryan Bayne. The versioning scheme I use is called “Semantic Versioning 2.0.0” and more<br />
information about it can be found at http://semver.org/</p>
<p>These are the rules followed to increase the YouTube Sidebar plugin version number. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:</p>
<p>MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,<br />
MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and<br />
PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.<br />
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.</p>


YouTube Sidebar

YouTube Sidebar displays videos on a per post basis. To make good use of a single space it allows ads to be displayed when no video present
