  I’m adding content on my site right now, and i’ve been adding images and embedded youtube videos in specific posts, but they do not appear in the categories view (http://savecarolyn.wordpress.com/category/carolyn-in-media-%e5%aa%92%e9%ab%94/newspaper-%e5%a0%b1%e7%b4%99/)
  The media only appears when I click on the link to the post by itself (http://savecarolyn.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/metro-thousands-aid-bone-marrow-search/), so i was wondering what I could do to enable the displaying of media when i’m sorting posts by cateogory or on the main page.

  Many thanks!

  The categories view typically does not display such things. Readers have to click on the link to the post. There MAY be themes out there which function differently, but I’m not aware of them.

  The main page will generally display the whole thing regardless.

  This happens because you have chosen one of the themes that only display the first lines of each post when you click on a category. If you switch to a theme that displays complete posts (there are several – try Garland, for instance), your videos and everything will show up.

  @ raincoaster
  On the site, we’ve set the main page to show static content, so it won’t be available to display the whole thing there, unfortunately.

  I will look into some alternative themes!
  Thanks to both of you!!

  Im having the same problem. Is there a link from the categories view to the actual post? Ive tried clicking the title, but that doesnt work.
