    This is kind of odd. I already tried doing that (obviously). I must have done somthing wrong cause it is working now.

    Thanks, rep added.

    If the video is yours as you say then you should be able to get (and even modify) the given code.
    Please note that some users disables the option to import their videos in external pages like blogs etc ...

    Make sure while editing your post or page it is on "html" mode and not on "visual" mode. I know it is something really basic, but sometimes we miss the small details...

    Joehema,

    There are a couple of ways you can do this...

    1) Just copy and paste the "embed" code you get from YouTube.com for the video you want into your blog post page like this:

    <div align="center">
    <h3>Video Title Here</h3>
    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EYNVN5kMfCw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EYNVN5kMfCw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
    </div>

    or...

    You can use a wordpress plugin like Viper's Video Quicktags

    You will have to follow the instructions provided with the plugin, but it has a feature to allow you to insert videos from various Video Sharing sites like YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, etc.

    Hope this helps!
