  Hi everyone,

  I am trying to embed a code into my WordPress.com website. I have always been able to open up the HTML view of the page and then just copy and paste my embed code. Today I try to do that and as soon as I click on the “update” button, the code disappears. I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thank you.

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

  Is this something new? I was able to do it without any problems up until the middle of November. This is the first time I’ve tried since then.

  What is the code?
  Copy & paste it here, between backtick ( ` ) characters.

  Mine was a YouTube embed code. I tried using Chrome instead of IE and it worked fine. Hope that helps.
