I place this link here , http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/ , as I did what it is said and it doesn’t work. In the post page it appears the link not the video. Can anybody help a bit? Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi. The blog linked to your username, testblogam.wordpress.com, no longer exists. In order to give you accurate advice, we need the URL of the blog you are asking about, starting with http://

I typed the name of the blog but it doesn’t appear. I put it here livingdemo and it has wordpress.com after it. Maybe in this way it will work.

Since the blog is private, we volunteers cannot see it your blog.
Paste or type the code into the HTML tab in the editor. Sometimes when it is put into the Visual tab it does not work.
[youtube=URL_OF_YOUTUBE]Alternately put the URL of the video here in the forums so we can try and see if it works.

Something happened with my blog. Since a few days, I cannot find it anymore, and just about a message ago I typed here the name of the blog livingdemo.wordpress.com and it just did not work. I looked again about it and I just cannot find it as ussually.
I do not understand exactly why you need to see the blog for a question like that, is too technical for me. But I believe you. As I really see your good intention to help. Unfortunately I cannot find it anymore. On the net. But I can log in.
I would like to try as you said but I do not know exactly where to look exactly. I do not know things like html or visual. But I will learn that, if it is a must.
One of the links I would like to use is :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KeiuAhHbtkAnd I thank you for giving me this alternative.

Sacred Path, it worked out with that html you told me. I managed to find it out. But the image is so big! Is it a way to make it smaller? Thank you a lot for your advice!

This Forum is for the support of only those blogs that are hosted on WordPress.COM. If you site is not hosted here the help you receive might not be accurate – there is more than one flavor of WordPress software.
For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
We also need to see the blog in question as different Themes also work differently and advice for iNova might not work for 2010. When you argue about providing the requested information you slow down your receiving accurate help or in some cases help is stopped all together when you irritate the unpaid volunteers that provide most of the help in the Forum.

I did not argue about anything. I just told I cannot match in my mind these two things because I just learn how to use this thing and I am not very technical oriented. The blog I have is private as work in it. The theme is tarski. I simply cannot imagine how you can give a more accurate help just by seeing the blog on the net, because I do not know how you work. In my mind is that you have to have access to the dashboard. That is all. I hope the info about the theme helps.
The advice I received from sacred path worked out for me without any other info, and I wanted to let him know that, as it was the only one to say something.
I feel irritation and is not the first. .org or .com we share the same world. my blog is a .com one and just dissapeared from the net and I do not know why. and I am not irritate. I mind my own business and I try to learn as much as I can.
We are as separate as we want to be. If you take only the words into account you miss the energy behind. And that is the one that tells you the truth. No matter if we speak about pixels or counsciousness.
And that is the reason I appreciate and I give thanks to all the people that share the knowledge, though I understand the rules here. As long as they do not rule a life they are welcomed.
I thank you for the answer. I saw that there are differences in themes. This is why I am asking. I found out how to resize but is not working with just with the code I added. But it has to be an answer to that, too.

a) To link to your blog you don’t type its name, you paste its exact complete URL as copied from the address bar of your browser:
http://livingdemo.wordpress.com/
But better update your username link.b) For standard matters such as how to insert or resize a Youtube video, please get used to searching the Support docs:

My username link has not been changed since the beginning. And when I typed in google search the name of the blog without http, it worked just fine. And now is working again. Probably the engines, I do not know.
There are hundreds of blogs on the net, and you can find them only by typing a name, or a word, etc. and they are not even updated or so. I know there are reasons, but having the whole url, with http in ypur browser seems not to be the only solution. And this is an issue I needed to understand.
For resizing I already tried. It did not work. I found a plug in, is with fixed size, but for the time being, works for me. So, there are options. This is important.
You have a huge amount of knowledge here and together with wordpress staff support, is a real valuable thing. But when you act like sergents, this comes between your knowledge and sharing it, and your answers just go that way. I did not know much in the beginning, not even what a html is. But I learned. And I have to appreciate that I learned much by reading the posts here and the way they were solved. So, this is something to be recongnized.
My best wishes to all of you! And thank you all!

a) I wasn’t talking about how to find your blog in Google, I was talking about how to provide a link to your blog here in the forum when you ask a question.
b) As the Support doc on Youtube shows, in order to resize a video you change the shortcode from this:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KeiuAhHbtk]
to this:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KeiuAhHbtk?w=320]
Change 320 to whatever number you prefer. -
