  Hi
  I’ve been trying to embed an instagram video on my blog for the last 2-3 days. All I’m doing is copying the instagram embed code and posting it in the blog post.

  The issue is that video is showing full width but only half height. So if the video is supposed to be a square (as instavideos are) I’m getting a rectangle, with the correct width but a short height.

  Please help me fix this, its driving me nuts.

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

  Thanks for the link. I’ve gone through it several times. The embed methods described, ie with a short code or just by putting the url, are not working on the blog.

  Is there some other way to do this?
  Thanks,
  Arjun

  Yes, and you should be doing it that other way. The reason WordPress.com instructions do not work for you is that you do not have a WordPress.com blog.

  http://blueant.in/ is a WordPress.ORG blog and you need to go ask in their forums.

  Sorry, my mistake. Feeling extremely embarrassed now.
  Will move this question to their forums.
  Thanks!

  No worries. Some days a third of our questions are from WP.org sites.
