  The video works perfectly in non-Monotone blogs. The video does not work in Monotone blogs. I tested it.

  Any further questions?

  @raincoaster: Oh but it does – check the link I give above.

  Also note that qussa’s nick was also the blog name. I always try that in the no-blog-link cases. I wouldn’t have answered if I hadn’t seen the blog (and tested using the same theme).

  It does not work in MY monotone blog.

  And I don’t bother doing people’s legwork if they can’t be bothered to drop a link.

  “And I don’t bother doing people’s legwork if they can’t be bothered to drop a link.”

  Ah, no objection to that!

  You haven’t seen as many “oh, not That blog, I meant this OTHER one” comments as I have, that’s all.

  @pana, now I’m intrigued. Was that screenshot from a Preview, or from a Published post? Because Monotone is very bad for providing Previews that aren’t what you get when you hit Publish. The video did not work in my Monotone blog, nor has any video of any kind ever worked in that theme for me.

  I truly appreciate your help, yet I maintain that I have followed all the rules and regulations re: posting on the support forum, as I did give the URL to my blog (on January 7th). No need to do my legwork again if I’ve done it myself.
  Would love to hear the outcome of the video works/doesn’t work-in-monotone-theme/preview yes or no, though.

  No, it does not work on MY monotone blog. We have to wait for the answer to https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/youtube-link-didnt-embed-at-all?replies=28#post-298807 to determine whether it’s working in preview but not on the post or whether there is a difference between different Monotone blogs.

  @raincoaster: Published of course – I’m not that bad!

  (By the way, here’s another thing that Monontone wasn’t supposed to do:)
