Could someone pop in and take a read at this tutorial I wrote: Embedding YouTube videos. It's meant to be for people who use my library but it could definitely be adapted elsewhere.

Comments on spelling and grammar are good, so are comments on readability and understandability.

Tutorial seems very straightforward. It reads easy, and I was able to understand everything on the first read. Nice work.

Last sentence, Paragraph 2 wrote:Allowing users to tell the browser to load content from other websites is intrinsically dangerous: there already security risks associated with letting users include images from other sites!
This does not read all that smooth to me. You might want to consider pretty-ing it up a bit. And I think you need an 'are' are the there.

Suggestion duly taken into account, and the sentence has been rewritten as:
Even img tags, which HTML Purifier allows by default, can be
dangerous. Be distrustful of anything that tells a browser to load content
from another website automatically.
