 * In spite of all attempts, reading every instructions out here, I cannot get this
   thing to recognize the API key. I did everything it said in the google does. 
   The correct API (youtube 3.0) is enabled. I have the credentials, set to the 
   correct website. WHY won’t it work?

 * I just figured this out. it uses wp_remote_get and does NOT send a referer. It
   was actually incredibly frustrating to find this out. I’ll post a fix shortly.
