why can't I get the You Tube to appear in my latest blog post?


They changed the way media is uploaded on Word Press, what am I missing?

Nice blog Mike! How do you get those facebook, linkedin, ect links at the bottom of each post?

I switch the edit box to HTML code, copy and paste the youtube embed code (uncheck your play everything box first) where I want it to land in the text, then switch back to visual mode.

The embed code is cool, you can change the vid frame size to any size you want by messing with the numbers in the embed code. Mess with the numbers in red and keep the ratio the same. For instance, reduce each number by %20.

In this blog post with video I resized the video to fill the width of the page

you screwed something up with the permalinks too...looking now

 

[FredC]

The answer is:

Tou can just paste the video url from the address bar in your browser....like you did...and it will show up

BUT

you can't add the styling "align center" without using the embed...... you adding the styling to the url you pasted in broke it

fixed now
