    I have 2 wordpress questions.

    1. I made a blog http://buffalo-sabres-hockey.com and I put Adsense links on it. But for some reason, there are no ads about the Sabres or even about hockey, they are all about blogs and making money. It is a new site, like 2 days old, but would anyone know why its not hockey ads?

    2. Anyone know a good plugin to embed youtube videos in my posts. I used one and it doesnt show up, as you can see from my latest post.

    Hello - do you have adsense set based on your site content? If so, how much content do you have on your blog? You say it's only 2 days old, so it could be you may not have enough content for them to get a good basis for site content.

    YouTube, you don't need a plugin, get the embed code from YouTube, click the html tab in WordPress and paste it in. That's all you need. :)

    I agree, the ads are a bit puzzling, I'm not logged into AdSense, but I believe you can exclude words from campaigns, so try excluding the words 'blog', 'blogging', etc... and see if that doesn't work.

    YouTube video: I can view it just fine. The video will not show until you publish the post and then view it on the web. Within the html editor in the wp-admin it will only show a yellow box, even if you do a preview; but when you publish the post you can see the video perfectly on the web. So it did work for you.

    It's so weird. If you go to the main index page, the ads are all related to making money. but when you go to any other page on the site, the ads are all about hockey and the sabres.

    Ok I can see the youtube video posted in Google Chrome but I can't see it in Internet Explorer. I don't know why that is?
