  I’m downloading the Youtube widget, and can’t figure out how to put it on my sidebar… It comes with instructions:

  1. Download (done)
  2. Extract and upload youtube.php to the plugins/ directory
  3. Enable YouTube Widget in the Plugin admin panel
  4. In widget admin panel, place YouTube in the sidebar, and edit it to enter the YouTube URL, not the embed code

  Can someone decipher these for me?

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

  Great! A little background about plugins. On WordPress.COM we can’t use external plugins. http://support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  To display a YouTube video in your Post (not sidebar) follow these instructions:
  http://support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/

  If you want to show videos in your blog’s sidebar, use the VodPod Widget http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/vodpod-videos-widget/
