Great point Andy! WordPress.com doesn't allow a lot of HTML to be just straight copied & pasted onto their website so great resource for those on WP.com.

Hi Erin. This won't work on Wordpress.com blogs though, only on Wordpress blogs that you have hosted yourself. On WP.com you need to use the shortcode. There's information on how to do this over in their help section.

Thanks Jon! Most of my blog posts are related to questions I get via Twitter, email, etc. Instead of answering it privately, I blog it so that others can be helped too! :)

Hey Erin Great Tip for someone who doesn't know about embedding videos into Blog Posts. We have all this knowledge that we take for granted & think everyone must know how to do this. Good post talk soon
