    Just go to HTML editor while writing a post on wordpress and paste the youtube embed code on the place you desire. That's it. Very easy. Regarding video from your hard drive, upload it first on youtube and then post it on your blog. This way, you will preserve some disk space and bandwidth consumed as well.

    its easy, make sure that you are in HTML editing mode and copy the embed code from the following YOUTUBE URL which you want to place on your blog.

    Yes, it is very easy, but youtube videos html code isn't validated by w3c you might want to validate it first before pasting to your site. The benefit of having videos in your server, google will index your videos too.
