    You can insert a youtube video by using the following code.

    [youtube=(insert the URL of your youtube video)]

    For example :

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUmM4_x9hE]

    You can’t place adsense on wordpress.com blog for the moment

    And check this out once you feel comfortable with YouTube. :)

    I was testing to see if I learned how to insert video but now I don´t know where to put the code:
    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUmM4_x9hE]
    Since html button and insert image apparently don´t insert the video on the blog.

    You don’t need to click a button or use any special function. Just put the text in there just the way it’s presented and it will work perfectly.

    EG:

    Hi this is a cool video I saw on YouTube:

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUmM4_x9hE]

    And that will put the line above the YouTube video, which will appear in the post just fine.

    I´m still confused…
    The problem is that I can not copy and paste the code [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUmM4_x9hE] directly on the body of the message (I use WP post editor) since when I press right bottom of the mouse I can´t see the command paste.
    Also, I typed the command [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUmM4_x9hE]
    and saved the post, then I back to the post, but I couldn´t see the video, only the text.

    It should work if you just type it in as-is. I always use the rich text editor, and it always works for me; if you’re doing it in the HTML editor, that might not work, I’m not sure.

    On my computer at least you can paste things by hitting Control and then V at the same time. Does that not work with you? I just tested this exact YouTube on my blog and it works just fine: what comes up is the March 10, 2006 2nd KLCC Oil Hike Protest.

    It works! Thank you, specially for the control+v tip, and finally the video is there, thanks!:-)
