  Hi,
  I haven’t updated my blog in awhile and I forgot how to upload a smaller sized you tube video for my text widget.
  I put those on the right side bar of my blog.
  I’ve been going to insert media from URL and then copying the URL and adding h…30] –but it’s not working.
  Thank you.
  Melissa

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

  I wonder if there is something wrong with the url I’m using.

  This is the youtube video I’m trying to put on my web site and I notice it’s not coming up as a video even in normal sized.

  The right URL is this:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexAKXIovLs&
  And the shortcode you need in the Text widget is this:
  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexAKXIovLs&w=200]

  Sorry, made a mistake at the end of the URL:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexAKXIovLs
  Shortcode as shown.
