Just making a little suggestion to change your YouTube shortcode so the default behavior adds the rel=0 parameter to the video URL, so that at the end of a video it doesn’t show a bunch of other random YouTube videos. Or you could add that as an option, maybe? I’ve seen others asking for this, too. On business sites, people often want to prevent YouTube from throwing up some irrelevant — possibly inappropriate — content into their site.

With some other themes, I’ve been able to accomplish this by adding a function to the Child Theme, if the Parent Theme has a simple YouTube function that is pluggable, so I can just copy that and add the rel=0 parameter myself. But I’m not seeing a simple way to do anything similar with your theme. If you know of a way for me to modify this from my Child Theme, please let me know.

Thanks for a great theme!
