New blogger :How do I embed videos?? And what about stats?
-
good day community and a happy new year to all!!
I am new at wordpress. I have a blogger blog for the past two years and three days ago I deceided to trasfer to wordpress. I transferred all my posts to my new wordpress bolg and have been able to solve alone lots of technical matters.
However, there are still some points that are unresolved for me, although they may be quite simple, so I kindly ask for your assistance.
For instance, I have had lots of youtube clips on my blogger blog and now they appear as just links on my wordpress…how can I make them appear ok, as clips? And, if I want to upload videos of my own, do I have to subscribe to a paid service?A second question of mine concerns the stats and counters. I see a stats table on the dashboard. So far it is empty, because I have hdden my wordpress from the search engines. I friend of mine however has visited it. Still, no stats are shown. Will thw stats start running as soon as I make my blog public?
Also, can I install a counter on the front page? Can I make the counter run from the hits on that I left on Blogger counter?I would be ver, very greatful if you helped me wiyh these questions, and others, maybe, as I try to be familiarized with the new enviornment.
Thank u so much in advance!!!!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi and welcome to WordPress.com. This is how you insert YouTube videos:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/You can install the default Blog Statistics widget on your blog but it will start from the day the WP.com blog was opened. If you want your counter to start where the Blogger one left, you need to find a free third-party counter that allows you to set up a starting number.

Airodyssey, thank u very, very much!!
About the third party counter: can I install such a widget? I guess it isn’t a ‘plug in’, so it can be installed on my wordpress bolg?

You’re very welcome :-)
As long as it does not contain JavaScript, you can copy and paste the HTML code in a text widget or insert the image and URL in a blogroll widget. This article can give you some ideas:

I have answered my fair share of deleted blogs and .ORG sites myself – but then I hope that nobody is really keeping track – thanks for your help in the Forum

Oh, it’ll probably turn out they’re talking about some OTHER blog. That’s why I’ve started pointing them to the 8 Things post again. Saves time.

My blog is on. I had first registered with the first address , the first day that I created my account on wordpress, and an hour later changed it. My blog is on and I am working hard on it to make it functional and technically good. Thank u very much for your help and support :-)))
