    I just set up a new wordpress blog and I can’t seem to embed video into it. I just get a link on the blog instead of the embeded video. I’ve copied the text from the examples that doesn’t work. Tried using insert video that doesn’t work.

    The blog is tradewiththeflow.com

    Thanks

    That is not a WordPress.COM blog, and thus the shortcode won’t work there. Use the regular Embed code. And in future, you’ll get answers for your kind of blog over at WordPress.ORG

    That’s easy: if you’re using WP.com and you’re signed in, you’ll see the grey Admin bar at the top of every WP.com page including your blog.

    Also, your URL has “wordpress.com” right in it.

    There’s a sticky thread at the top of the forums that explains the differences.
