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

  psst: Did you know that all you have to do to embed a youtube video in wordpress.com is simply paste the video url using the HTML editor of your post?
  It’s straight-forward, quick and great if you don’t need to modify the code for additional functionalities.
