  I’m embedding a YouTube video. I copy the link into my post. I click UPDATE and View Post. Initially, I see the video at my site. However, f I click around other Categories and then return to where I previously saw my video, it is gone and now I have to click the Permalink Name to view the video. Thanks

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

  Edit: sorry :( “Froefox 6.0” was meant to be “Firefox 6.0”

  Lastly, please note that some themes display full posts on Categories and Archives pages and some do not. Therefore one does have to click the permalinked title to open the post and view the video. We cannot edit templates and themes. See here for a listing of which themes display full posts on Categories and Archives pages.

  Perfect. I didn’t choose a theme that displayed full posts so that was it. Thanks! Can you also help me with posting an article that will show as a hyperlink? I don’t want it to show in the Blogroll but rather in the Post itself

  When I click the “link” icon, nothing happens. The box doesn’t pop up. Does it have something to do with my computer or security settings maybe?
