   I would like to embed a youtube video into a blog post - first time I'm doing this on WP.org. So I've pasted the embed code into the HTML for my post, and it clears a big space in the Preview window, but doesn't actually display any image or video.

   I've tried both the new and the old embed codes from youtube. Here's the embed code in question:
   <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OAY5j5m9sTk?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

   This is using Chrome on a Mac, if it matters. Theme is Twenty Ten.

   I just noticed that blog posts I made on WP.com, before recently migrating to WP.org, do display their embedded youtube videos correctly. So my setup is not unable to display video.

   Appreciate any suggestions or pointers.

   Huh.

   I'd just discovered this feature myself - by looking at my old posts - but didn't really believe I "should" be doing it this way. So, thanks!
