  I would like to embed this video (http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/257090/dreidel-dreidel-dreidel) into my blog. I’ve copied the link, pasted it into the blog, yet the video doesn’t show up.

  Any advice?

  Thanks

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

  Try this:

  [gigya src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:southparkstudios.com:257090" width="360" height="293" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowFullScreen="true" ]


  Flash does not work here for security reasons but the gigya short code can be used much of the time

  Thank you so much. Works a treat.

  Are their options for centering the video in the middle of the page, and indeed of making it any larger.

  And happy chanukkah ;)

  Highlight the code I gave you above while in the visual editor – click on the center paragraph and things should center –

  You might be able to change the dimensions manually but you will need to change both dimension numbers and keep the aspect ratio the same – I did not try it and have not a clue if there is something that will be upset – sometimes changing dimensions has side effects.

  To center the video you write this (in the HTML editor):

  <div align="center">
  SHORTCODE HERE
  </div>

  To make it larger, you change the width and height numbers (proportionately).
