There’s a couple of ways to embed videos in a Wordpress blog. The first is a simple copying and pasting of code. The second actually allows you to post them directly from YouTube’s website, but it’s slightly more complicated to setup initially.
Copying code from YouTube’s site
First, watch the video you want to put on your blog. For our example, we’ve picked the video we did on linking to your Facebook profile.
In the screenshot above, you can see an area highlighted to the top right of the video. Simply copy the code in the Embed field.
Next, visit your blog and create a new post or page.
In the screenshot above, you can see a couple of highlighted areas. To the top right of the post’s content area, click on the HTML tab. Then, paste the code into the content area. Click the publish button, and you’re good to go.
Next time I blog, we’ll take a look at the slightly more complicated (but better in the long run) way to post videos to your blog directly from YouTube.
