How to post in a video format in the new interface?
-
How can I get video format posts in the new interface of WordPress.com ?
There are options for gallery, image, quote, etc , but no longer for video format – which I used for almost every other post.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The original place to create a post with full features to upload images, etc is here Dashboard > Posts > Add New and it works well for me.
In fact I never ever use the Add New at https://wordpress.com/post/ which is undergoing changes as part of an ongoing project to make the site multi-device friendly.
Go to Dashboard > Post > Add New
For inserting images see http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/adding-images-to-posts-or-pages/
For embedding videos note what follows. The video embeds that WordPress.com supports for all of our blogs – no upgrade required are found here.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video
The VideoPress upgrade allows you to upload videos from your computer for hosting and playback directly within your blog (or on another site you can designate). http://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/ However, if you upload them to youtube or another supported video source site then you do not need the upgrade.
For a Flash workaround for unsupported video sources see here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/gigya-shortcode-3-widgets/
