http://wptheming.com/2015/05/custom-links-customizer
Custom Links in the Customizer. May 13, 2015. Adding custom links or markup to the theme customizer can be a bit difficult since everything is injected with javascript rather than the normal PHP toolkit.

Responsive Video and FitVids. May 27, 2014. If you develop responsive WordPress themes, you’re likely making sure embeds and iframes resize within the container. Something like this does the trick:. Make sure embeds and iframes fit their containers */ embed, iframe, object { max-width: 100%; }. But the problem with video embeds is that the aspect ratio isn’t maintained at smaller screensizes.

http://wptheming.com/2015/06/efficient-script-loading-for-oembeds
Efficient Script Loading for oEmbeds. June 15, 2015. I’ve been using FitVids.js in a lot of recent themes to ensure video displays nicely in responsive layouts.
