  Hello,

  As you may know, YouTube offers the possibility to start a video at a certain time. For example this will start at 1’07”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG2O4k7jWSI&t=1m7s

  WordPress.com insists on ignoring that parameter. Or maybe I am missing something.
  Help?

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

  I tried:
  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSUYqxKlxZw&w=400&t=4m36s]
  (that would be the youtube way) and after looking on the other thread
  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSUYqxKlxZw&w=400&start=276]
  None of them would work for me :(

  See here please:

  Then try again – the sourcecode of your page shows that you simply haven’t added the start attribute.

  You’re right. I guess I didn’t drink my coffee yet.
  Thank you very much!
