  This code:

  <iframe src=’http://m.mlb.com/shared/video/embed/embed.html?content_id=39997683&topic_id=69972428&width=400&height=224&property=mlb’ width=’400′ height=’224′ frameborder=’0′>Your browser does not support iframes.</iframe>

  Will not display on my front page…only an image that you have to click to take you to mlb.com’s video page???

  Also, when I embed a tweet from Twitter it shows the way it appears on Twitter on my landing page — but not when you click on the story to open in it’s own page — then the formatting disappears – or the GIF reverts to the link etc.

  Is this a problem with the theme I have chosen or do I need to alter the Iframe code?

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

  Very interesting – I write for another site that uses WordPress as a platform and have no problems pushing MLB.com embed into the posts.

  I’m confused?

  That site isn’t a WordPress.com site. It’s a WordPress.org site.

  See here for the differences:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
