  Hi Steve,

  Currently, I’m seeing a YouTube video in your post here:

  http://upthepictures.com/2014/06/29/do-you-see-a-fool-or-truth/

  However, it looks like you may have attempted to use an iframe embed. Those are not allowed at WordPress.com for security reasons. You can read more about that here:

  Add Code to Your Site

  However, you can embed YouTube videos. You just need to paste the URL of the video as explained here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  Can you give that a try for your next post with an embed?

  Hi Jeremy,

  Thank you so much for you swift response. Yes, what I did was to try pasting the URL into the post as well which seemed to have the desired effect. I subsequently, therefore, deleted the embed code thingy. I apologise for any confusion caused to you.

  I am having to thrash about learning how to run my blog a bit, but I am mightily relieved to discover this support feature is so responsive.

  With many thanks
