Wordpress Embedded Youtube Video Plugin Issue

    I've set up a personal video blog using the Wordpress platform. I've chosen a theme and activated it on the site. After uploading & activating my first video plugin I noticed the video tag didn't appear on the write post page, so I tried another video plugin and again it didn't seem to work.

    Can anyone tell me what is going wrong here? It's really important I have one of the vid plugins installed and working as it's a video site you know what I mean. Could it be down to the theme I use?

    Please help, your help would be much appreciated, thanks !

    I'm using this plugin to display videos on my blog. You don't even need to insert the whole <object> tag. To use the plugin in your posts, paste Youtube video link with httpv:// (notice the 'v'), like this:

    Hope that helps ;)
