How can I embed a YouTube playlist?

This tutorial no longer works. Is there a new way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

This has also ceased to work:

Understood. That was a workaround. There is no official support for youtube playlists. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/
-
So, I can only embed a playlist if I use a plugin, but plugins are only for wordpress sites hosted by someone other than wordpress?
-
You’re right. There is no FTP access and no plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

Ok, so the fact that I bought my domain from wordpress only affords me a non-wordpress url, but doesn’t give me any of the access typical of buying and hosting a domain through most of the other hosting sites?

When you purchase a domain mapping upgrade all that changes is the URL and nothing else.

If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers.

Note that WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different log-ins.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/You can hire a webhost http://wordpress.org/hosting, set up a wordpress.org install. Move your blog content by export and import, except for the theme. http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ Then update the nameservers to point to the WordPress.org install.
-
If that’s what you decide to do and you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

But WordPress.org is a place to download script that I’d have to be good at html and/or CSS to use, right? It’s not like a desktop application that functions like WordPress.com’s dashboard, that I can use without coding knowledge and then upload to something like Bluehost?

I don’t know enough to understand what will happen when you upload the software to a host. Does it all just show up as files and folders of coding and whatever plugins and media you upload, or does it by some magic appear like WordPress.com’s dashboard but with a ton more behind-the-scenes customizability?
Also, do these plugins give you a set of script to upload, or do they look like apps?
