@Akash: For Youtube you could check out http://tubepress.org/ which has a lot of option and for even more flexibility with Genesis I always install http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/simple-hooks which give you the same functionality as the Thesis Simple Hooks plugin.

Genesis is a good theme and I am using this on my site. But, there is no inbuilt provision for adding a multimedia box like Thesis theme has. Or have I missed something. I am looking for a good youtube gallery plugin. Would love, if someone suggests one. Anyway thanks for the post. and thanks for suggesting the four plugins.

@Saleem: The .html extensions isn’t mandatory, in your case you could try to set the permalinks options to /%postname% and see if that works for you.
However if you want to keep the .html extension and not loose the backlinks and rankings you can redirect the old links to the new ones.

There are two ways to do that, first is with a plugin called http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/ or via .htaccess 301 redirects.
I think the plugin will serve you best if you have a lot of pages or if you don’t like to edit your .htaccess file.

If its just a few pages you can create a 301 redirect rule for every page, and those should be in your .htaccess like:
Redirect 301 /aboutus http://www.mysite.com/aboutus.html

The first value is the old slug without the domain name, the second value should be the full new url.

Hope this helps.
