Wordpress blog?
Is it possible to embed a youtube video on my blog and how do I do it?

- sure. You just need to grab the youtube code and place it inside your post or page. it embeds the player in your site and loads the video from yotube. Below each video on youtube there is a snippet of code titled "Embed". There is an input box and the code in there looks like this: <object width="425" height="353"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VBI_NNeBeXQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VBI_NNeBeXQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="353"></embed></object> then just copy that and add it to your post or page in wordpress.
- Just as the person above stated all you need to do is copy and paste the code into your post. One thing to remember tho' is the width of the video may be too large for your content area so you may have to resize it. To do that just change the width within the youtube code and you'll be set ie: where the code reads width=425 (it has that twice in the code) you need to change that to the appropriate size for your content area

- Depends whether your wordpress blog is on wordpress.com or self hosted. If it's on .com then just use the embed code. If it is self hosted you need a plug in. Go to your wordpress admin panel and click on plug ins. At the foot of the page there is a link to Wordpress plug in directory. Look for Youtube brackets. Once you have unzipped it upload it to your folder then activate it in Dashboard. All you need to do then is post [youtube=Youtubeurl] and its there. If you look at http://www.internet-video-tutorials.com/simpleseries/ that uses that system. The second video down streams from blip.tv. Their system for adding videos to your blog is easier than with youtube.
