….I deleted this post as I found a way to work it… but then I realized that I am receiving a lot of traffic from this post and that the poor folks who are visiting this site are looking for help – so I re posted it with the solution:
Hi Guys just a quick one. I have wasted around 3 hours now and I am fed up of looking. Can somebody please let me know how to embed a video in wordpress.com. Somehow it does not work for me. I have read the following wordpress support article but it still doesn’t´ work for me. Thanks for helping.
ARGH – I hate it – wasting 3 hours and achieving NOTHING…… BTW I am not using wordpress.org – just this free version
