  Hello there. The code you entered is not allowed on WordPress.com sites. In order to add a YouTube video to your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to follow these instructions:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  By customizing your YouTube shortcode, you can choose your video’s size and settings.

  Give that a go and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks very much.

  Bill,

  As I mentioned before, the code (which includes your iframe) will not work on a WordPress.com site. You must follow the instructions to embed your video using:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  The site you sent me: http://warrenpolkaboosterclub.com/ is not a WordPress.com site. It is a self-hosted WordPress.org site. You can use iframe code when you self-host. You cannot do this on WordPress.com sites.

  Please follow the instructions in the link above and you should have success. Once you’ve embedded your YouTube code into your WordPress.com site, please send me a link to the page or post. I can help further once you’ve done that.

  Many thanks and best of luck!
