    Thanks but doesnt work on some of the free blog services that are using wordpress. Do they have the ability to embed a video disabled?

    @MizClayton, yeah do you know how to do it with 2.8? I’m looking but I can’t see

    This must be a really old version of WordPress.

    use the EMBED code from this site, post it in the HTML box not the VISUAL box

    Doesn’t seem to work anymore on the latest wordpress. I have tried inserting the embed code every which way and nothing ever shows up.

  20. BrianFactors 10 January 2010 at 11:40 am #

    This doesn’t work anymore, at least.

    This is a very old method. In the new WordPress, just click the HTML tab on the post edit page and paste it there, then go back to Visual.

    Fantastic, thanks so much for such a simple solution which was so easily found in youtube but impossible to get a straight answer on in the wordpress forum. Cheers :)
