  Dear all,

  I want to occasionally include posts with links to videos in my blog musicalfirstlove.wordpress.com.

  In the Baskerville 2 Demo, there is also a post that looks like you can directly play the video in the post excerpt on the landing page.

  However, when I select the video format and embed/ include the link to a video, the post appears in the Standard format in the post overview and you see the video link in text format.

  Can you help me? Thanks in advance!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  If you’d like to set up your site like the Baskerville theme demo, please navigate to My Sites > Customize > Content Options > Blog Display, then select “Full Post”.

  If a video is entered into the beginning of a post, it will also appear on the home page.

  If you don’t want to display the whole post on the home page, you can insert the “More” tag where you’d like it to break.

  I hope this helps :)
