  Hi there
  I was sure I posted this a few hours ago but I came home and there’s nothing visible on my recent posts

  My question is
  I have used the text widget on my sidebar to display my book trailer on Youtube.
  However, it has left two thick 1cm black bands at the top and bottom of the window. My blog is white so it looks awful. How can I remove the two black bands?
  That or another way to display the video???

  Thanks

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

  The black bands are actually in the placeholder image that comes from Youtube, so there isn’t anything we can do about that. Here is the URL of the placeholder image: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OlfKLnuvEJc/hqdefault.jpg .

  One suggestion would be to use your own image in a text widget, linked to the Youtube URL of your video, or even use an image widget.
