Setting up an easy Embed Text Blaze

This solution will allow you to copy the link you want to embed, and easily add it to anywhere in Striven that allows you to add custom HTML. Things like tasks, HUB posts, and even certain kinds of text fields scattered all across Striven will work with this solution.

Also: The HTML in this snippet adds some CSS that will make whatever link you are embedding into a responsive embed so that it will dynamically resize to fit whatever display a user happens to be using. This will prevent any issue with the embedded content not being easily viewed.
