    anyone know how to embed video's into a wordpress post with it screwing up the layout of the site. Whenever I try it seems to jumble up my layout, because wordpress insist's on changing the code.

    I paste it in the HTML of the post, but when I hit update it changes all the code then doesn't work, plus jumbles up my layout.

    any tips or info on this anyone?

    Thanks

    lol thanks, you shoulda posted that one in my fav wordpress plugin thread :p

    I thought there might have been a way to do it manually since I usually host my own vids anyways, but thanks for that link!

    You can write your post, leaving a place for your video. Turn of the rich text editor, edit the post and embed the code into the source, save it, and it will work fine. You can then re-activate the rich text editor but if you ever edit that post again you will need to do so with the rich text editor off or it will break again.
