  I have just created a post on my blog with 2 youtube videos embedded into it. No problem, works fine.

  I’ve just created another post, and every time I embed a video and click publish, the video disappears from the post.

  What the heck is going on?

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

  Is it possible that you used the embed code rather than the URL from the address bar? http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  And possibly the video has embedding disabled. Can we get the link to the post with the video and/or the direct link to the video on YouTube?

  When I click on the Add Video button on the Upload toolbar I get 3 choices: They are: From Computer; From URL; Media Library.

  Click on the Add Video button on the Upload toolbar. Select the From URL tab. Paste the YouTube video’s URL into the URL field. Then click the Insert into Post button.
