Thank you so much Denise! Yes, it's working! I used video quite a bit, so I am thrilled! Thank you!

I will write down those few extra steps I was missing. Man, I could have never figured that one out on my own. :)

BE a great day!

The youtube embed does work if you disable the rich text editor. But many members of the community need the rich text editor in order to format their posts because they do not know how to write html or they don't use an html editor.

~~Which post did you try and add youtube to? Can you put the code back into the post and leave it there broken so I can see what's happening?~~

I found the post where you added the youtube - you're missing a step. After you add the youtube url, click "input format" and then select "full html" and then submit your post. I did that for you and the video is working now.

Still no youtube

Hi Denise,

While I thought I had tried doing it by using the youtube button then the url...I tried again after reading the blogher info you sent me to.

It shows in my preview as a pink youtube box as I am still typing, but not when I submit, or actually preview.

AM I doing something wrong still? Why does it not work in the HTML aread when using the EMBED like other blogs and sites?

Sorry to be a pain, but I just want to make sure I have tried all options before giving up.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks so much Denise!

I will check out the youtube link. Thanks!

Good idea.

Hello,

I am new to Blogher and it says here suggestions?

I was wondering if in the Religion and Spirituality area it can then be broken down to Metaphysical, Psychic etc.? Or is there something similar and I am missing it?

Also, how how does the youtube thing work? I will continue to read here...maybe it is explained somewhere.

Thanks in advance.
