 * I am waiting for my site host to upgrade so I can move to 3.3, but must limp 
   along with 3.0 until then.
 * I was editing a blog post in HTML and tried add the embedding HTML from a youtube
   video, but WordPress seems to wipe that out when I Save Changes. Is there any
   way to embed a video in a posting?

 * That doesn’t seem to work in WordPress 3.0. All I see is the link text, and it’s
   not even an active link. I can link to the video, but only as a link, not an 
   embed.
