  I started a new page called Hipster Kids. I wrote some in it and inserted a youtube video link, but when I view the page the video is not there.
  When I go back to edit it, I still see the code there, but there’s still no video link when I view the page.

  Howdy,

  You can embed a YouTube video simply by placing its URL on its own line in the visual editor.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  I can see a couple of YouTube videos on this post:

  Did you get this sorted out, or are you still encountering difficulty?

  Hi,
  Thanks for replying. Yeah..the videos work fine on the Home page, but the new Hipster Kids page I made…they don’t. I assume you can add video to new pages because it’s an option when I’m writing it.
  You know?
  Thanks again!

  What you included was the video on the user’s page, not the actual video’s page itself.

  Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqMKNo7kKjo instead.
