  Hi, I’ve tried today to add a Google Video in my post, but it wouldn’t work. I did it like they discribed it, but nothing appaered. Can someone please help me with a code or something?

  you could use the form below where you write your post. Just click videos.

  the code is also there:

  Google instructions:
  [ googlevideo=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-8459301055248673864 ]

  (without the spaces)

  FAQ just for reference.

  Also, when you say “I did it like they discribed it” you need to be more specific. Which “they”? And what were the instructions you followed?

  Which specific post is it? Giving us a link to the front page of your blog doesn’t help. I see a bunch of pictures of excavation equipment and some text. Need the exact post.

  And which instructions did you follow? Where did you get them from? Did you follow the instructions in the FAQ that Dr Mike posted?

  I see a link there to a video. Not an embedded one. If you use the visual writer, use to form below the space where you write to add the video. In visual writer you can’t paste the code directly into it.

  this is the post you’re talking about, right?

  See the FAQ up above there for an example of how to do it.
