  are you typing text and then linking it? because that won’t work. if you just post a link (at least a youtube link for sure) it should display as a video on your blog. Then you can post text underneath. I had this problem on one of my pages and figured it out. you can see how mine looks below.

  I’m having the same problem. I follow WordPress’ directions – I get the embed info from YouTube, paste it into my blog, and ‘save draft’ – and the embed info disappears! When I link it via url using WordPress’ “upload/insert’ tab, it shows up as a link, but not actually embedded – so when you click on it, it leaves my blog and goes to the You Tube website!
