    Do you want to upload the movies (the file is on your computer) or embed them (the file is on YouTube)?

    I've sent you a PM but in a nutshell:

    • If you're just wanting to play you-tube type movies, you copy the code from the you-tube page under 'embed this' and paste it into the html tab of your post
    • If you want to upload movies of your own, you need to work out what format they'll be in (wmv, mp4, mov etc) and then search for a plugin that will handle those. Plugins can now be installed directly from within the Wordpress admin - the link to 'install new' is down the left hand side.

    If you need any further help or details, just let me know.

    Best wishes,
    Crystal
