Whew! no shortage of posts today. While posting the Xtranormal video, I found two problems with Markdown and YouTube’s default embed codes.

  1. Youtube’s embed codes aren’t valid according to Jekyll’s markdown parser. To fix, change allowfullscreen in the embed code to allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen". See here for details / example.
  2. Chrome and Jekyll do something to YouTube tags such that the rest of the page fails to render in chrome after an empty iframe. The fix is to not have an empty iframe - put some text in, so you have <iframe>useless text</iframe>. See here for an example.

Thanks again, internet!
