For a long time all of my efforts to embed YouTube videos into this blog have been frustrated. Most of the help I found online was not helpful since it did not work. Finally I came across ShandyKing and hey presto I now can embed YouTube (wow! everyone is really excited now)
The main problem is that using WordPress, Mac and Firefox together is a bad combination if you want to be able to embed YouTube. The only way I managed to make it all work is by going into Users tab in the Admin section, find your user name and click on Edit. There is a “Your Profile Tab” and a box that say’s “Use the visual editor when writing”. Uncheck this, and click “Update Profile”. Then go back to your post and past the Embed code provided by YouTube.
Using the Code View under write did not work so I had to use the long way. Unfortunately this setting also means that I need to write in html – not fun. So the choice is either to go back and forth in the User settings or change browsers. But Firefox is staying!
