 * Hi Judy,
 * Try this:
 * `<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_nBrNqH4Tk?width=840&height=880" rel
   ="wp-video-lightbox"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watch SEO Scholars

 * I’m entering the HTML as follows, but when clicked, it just takes me to the youtube
   video page.
 * Any ideas on what to tweak ?
 * `<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N57jycozhfM?width=640&height=360" rel
   ="wp-video-lightbox">imperfect action</a>`

 * Hi Zingseven,
 * If you have WP Video Lightbox installed I believe you need to call it with a 
   shortcode like this: [video_lightbox_youtube video_id=XX width=640 height=480
   anchor=YY]

 * Please correct the shortcode and try it again.
