  I love the Sundance theme, but when I tried to embed videos in a post, the videos get blown up to the size of the content area, no matter what size I specify when I get the embed code from Youtube. I have the custom update, so I can tweak with the CSS code for this. What do I need to do to make sure that the theme’s codes don’t override the video embed codes?

  At the moment I had to switch back to a previous theme in order to post videos, but I love the Sundance theme and would like to go back to that if I could.

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

  The blog linked to your username is not wearing the Sundance theme. It’s wearing Bouquet. Please post an active link strating with http:// to the blog wearing Sundance that you want CSS editing help with.

  @haydenthorne
  You can copy the video embed code and turn it into a gigya shortcode. Then you can change the dimensions at will. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/gigya-shortcode-3-widgets/
