  I used embedded video for the first time today, on this post:
  http://laurasmusings.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/midweek-musings-new-feature/

  The embedded code is: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=2WfJBpN4elI]

  But the video does not appear. I found this forum topic:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/embedded-video-stopped-working?replies=17#post-307685

  and have tried clearing cache/cookies and restarting my browser, but do not see the video. I am on a Mac, and the problem occurs in both Firefox and Safari.

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

  Thank you !!!

  You’re welcome. I always copy from the little URL box, and never from the browser bar. It can screw you up so easily.
