  I have followed the directions as follows: went to dashboard, clicked on users, profile and checked the box “disable visual text editor”. Then I updated and went back to edit post. I still do not see my video, help!

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

  What video? From where? Do you have the videopress upgrade?

  It is HTML from a movie trailer, from an ad I saw for the movie. It came from a PTC ad. No, I do not have the videopress upgrade, where is that? Does it cost or is it a free part of WordPress?

  We cannot embed just any videos here, there are limitations. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/ (see the blue “related” pane to the right of the text)

  What you will likely have to do is use the vodpod button for wordpress to insert the video, but do be very careful about copyright issues.
