  I have had several problems emedding a video on thesinglefathersblog.com. I am trying to embed a video from http://cnn.com/video/?/video/us/2012/01/05/pkg-lavandera-deported-teen.cnn but it won’t seem to work. Every time I embed it, it shows up as a link. This is not the first time that I have had this problem on this blog with a video.

  I have an older version of WP running on Showtimesays.com and I never seem to have this problem. Please give me instructions on embedding videos on this particular site as an administrator.

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

  We do not have CSS video shortcode but you can use vodpod to embed almost any video on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

  The videos we do have shortcodes for are:
  Blip.tv
  DailyMotion
  Flickr Video
  Google Video
  LiveVideo
  TED Talks
  Viddler
  Videolog
  Vimeo
  Vodpod
  YouTube

  Edit: I typed “CSS video shortcode” when I meant to type CNN video shortcode” above.
