  Help! I have a Youtube video that I want to include in my blog, but when I load it (using the upolad/insert media files button) the actual video doesn’t show up. I only get the link.

  I went to the support page on youtube videos and it said to: “Paste it on a line by itself in your post/page editor:” No idea what that even means. What is a post/page editor? Here’s the support page I’m reading from: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  Thanks so much!

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

  The post/page editor is the place you write or edit a post.

  Go to the youtube video page, say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-BzXpOch-E. Go to your browser bar and copy the actual URL, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-BzXpOch-E and then go to the Write Post that you’re working on and paste that in on its own line, ie don’t go “Blah blah blah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-BzXpOch-E and whatever, moving on”.

  Instead go

  Blah blah blah

  whatever, moving on
