1st – (for security reasons) Please do not Try to embed anything other

than YouTube Video or WMV (windows media video) from a hosted site !

Originally I thought I could find a video on YouTube that would explain this for you but…

After watching several dozen videos , I did not see one that had correct information.

So this weird way of explaining it should get’r done!

1- Go to the YouTube video page where your video is posted. Normally to the right hand top area you will see two  little rectangular boxes with text inside. On the left of those small boxes, one of them says URL and under that one says “embed”.

2-”Left Click” in the embed box once and the text will be highlighted.

3-”Right Click” on the highlghted text in the embed box and then select “copy”

4-Switch to your blog page where you should be ready to insert this into your post.

5-Go to spot in post/page where you want to insert the video and type a xx (this is so you may find it in next step)

6-Click on the HTML tab of the blog post/page editor (things might look weird as you are looking at the code & text)

7-Find the xx you created in the text and click just past your xx so curser is in correct spot.

8-”Right Click” in that spot and select “Paste”

9-Switch back to Visual mode by clicking “Visual” in the editor.

10-Erase the xx you created to mark the spot.

you can now select the embeded object (by clicking on it) for positioning left,right,center as you would with any text and can now finish typing your post/page and update/publish your post.

Once you have done this several times, you probably will understand enough that you will not need to mark the spot with the xx. Be sure NOT to insert/paste the embed code inside any html tags   <  >

This is a unorthodox way of explaining it but it should get the Job Done!.

If you wanted to just create a link to the web page with the YouTube video, just copy the “url” from the YouTube post instead of the embed code and select the the text in your post you wish to make it link from by clicking/dragging your mouse and select the “link” (chain link on your editor) and paste the url text just like any hyperlink but you may want to  also select   “open in a new page” (target=_blank)   so it opens in a new browser tab/window This will keep you site page up so user does not get lost from it while they enjoy the link you are sending them to.
