  I have tried to embed a Flickr video, and I just get a black box. I’ve checked and my Flickr stuff is NOT hidden from public searches.

  This is the page – I can also view the video logged out of Flickr:
  http://fifescapes.wordpress.com/2013/05/04/flickr-video-test/

  Have tried with IE9 and Chrome.

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

  Have you confirmed that the video is embeddable, not just public? I see a code to link to the video; I don’t see an embed code.

  Could you explain what you mean by this please? This is the page as seen in the Text editor:

  OK, I fixed this by using the WordPress button over on Flickr. There must be something crucial that the instructions here (http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/flickr-video/) omit.

  It’s good to have it fixed, it would be better if the instructions worked.
