Are we allowed to post links to our Youtube blogs? I know there are several people that I watch on YouTube that are part of OH. Just wondering :)

So, YouTube doesn't require an account to see the videos, but you can sign up if you'd like. Does that mean I still cannot link to YouTube? I don't want to pull away people from here, just to share via video. :)
