  When I try inserting a YouTube video directly into one of your posts, everything displays correctly for me.

  I see that on your most current post, you’re using the YouTube shortcode. Can you try copying and pasting the URL from one of your videos directly into the Visual Editor and letting me know if the automatic embed works for you?

  URL method straight to vis editor does not work, have tried using the add vid button and just get an add to upgrade to a vid thing.

  BTW what was wrong with the method I have always used? You say that I was using short code when I was using copy and paste straight from the URL at the top of my screen, hell things were great, now your just confusing me.

  All fixed now (I hope), your marketing strategy was shamefull and not really needed, never try to fix what is not broken, but I can forgive, not going off to blogger just yet.
