    I just paste the embed code for a Youtube video inside of a blog post, and it doesn't show up, it actually ends up messing up the whole template.

    What could be the problem? Thanks.

    Try Using the following:

    <p><object width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/VideoIDHere"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VideoIDHere" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></p>
    HTML:
    Use the above HTML code in your WordPress post and make sure you change VideoIDHere to the ID that YouTube Generates. You have to replace both the spots marked in BOLD&RED!

    You have got to make sure that you have disabled "Use the visual rich editor when writing"! This works perfect for me. For example you can test the above code with Video ID: oauaWRwjFgw and check if it works perfect.

    You should be seeing video content from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oauaWRwjFgw !

    Cheers,

    When inserting objects in WordPress, insure that there is no newlines within the code (as prescriped above).

    Peace,

    In order to use the embed tag in WP

    log in to wp-admin
    Users-->your profile --> deselect "Use the visual rich editor when writing"

    That's it
