  Videos won’t show up in my blog. Even when I follow the instructions for embedding a youtube video, only the link shows up. I’d like the video to play IN my blog.
  How can I do that?
  When I copy the embed code it just shows up as code on my blog

  Can you please try using of the methods described here instead of simply pasting the embed code?

  That’s exactly what I did.. copy and paste from youtube ‘s url bar and only the link shows up, not the video.

  I see that the video is properly embedded now. Nice work!

  Are you all set? Let us know if you have any other questions. :-)

  Yes, I got it working. I ended up right clicking and “copy video URL” that way, instead of from the browser bar. Not sure why one way worked over the other, but hopefully I can continue to embed videos! thanks
