1. Create a new post. Fill in the title and click on the HTML tab.
2. In a separate window, go to You Tube and highlight (select) all of the html code that is in the ”Embed” field. Copy (ctrl-c or use the menu options and go to edit/copy) the code. The Embed field is just to the right and a little below the actual video. It’s underneath a field called URL. When posting a video from sites other than YouTube, try to find something that says “embed code” and copy it.
3. Paste the embed code into the body of your post (ctrl-v or use the menu options edit/paste).
4. Click “Save.” (the save button is just to the right of the body of the post)
5. Click “Preview this Post.” Verify that the video appears in the post. (the “preview this post” button is just to the right of the Title)
6. Click “Publish.” (next to save)
7. Voila, you’re finished.

I added this to the FAQ:

Correction to this (updated in the FAQ):
3. Switch your view to “HTML” from “Visual”. Paste the embed code into the body of your post (ctrl-v or use the menu options edit/paste). Switch back to “Visual” – you should see a frame where the YouTube widget will reside.
