  How do I decide the size of YouTube-videos when i post them in my blog?
  I just want to show the play-button and well, not the video itself. (Because I want to post a song by using YouTube)
  Thanks :)

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

  I don’t think you can configure things to only show part of the youtube screen.

  Why not upload the audio file as an MP3 to somewhere like fileden and then use the audio player here.

  I used another blog-site before, and then i could configure it just how i wanted it, so i thought i could do something like that on WordPress too..

  Because I wanted to use YouTube, as simple as that.. haha :D

  But thank you for answering! :)

  Unless you have the space upgrade, which is discussed in the link I provided, you cannot upload audio or video files here.

  @niinaroen: You can resize a youtube video so that it only displays the play button by pasting the video URL in the html post editor this way:

  [youtube=URL_HERE&w=31&h=25]

  And the way to have mp3s play in your blog is this:
