  Can you please tell me how to embed a video from CNN. I’ve tried using the HTML code and it’s not working. The link isn’t hyperlinked. Suggestions, please.

  Thank you so much for responding. I tried this and googled it several times. When I cut and paste the link in to my wordpress page, I want the video to show with a “play” player button on it. It only shows the link. Is there a way to not have the link and show the actual video itself?

  Thank you, again.

  Ok. I’m afraid you can not: The instructions are (only) for CNNMoney Videos.
