 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to embed various videos into WordPress posts. In the editing screen,
   I will paste the embed code into the HTML editor, then switch back the the visual
   editor and I will see the video, but when I publish the post, the video and the
   embed code disappears. It’s very strange. Any ideas?
 * Thanks,
    Kendrick

 * Try publishing without switching back to the visual editor to preview your work,
   and see if your code sticks. Flipping between editors can be a problem sometimes.

 * If you can use “object” instead of the old embed, it should not be stripped out
   of the editor.
 * An example of the code:
    `<object width="320" height="265" type="application/
   x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/zuJkRpJ7Fxg?version=3"><param
   name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zuJkRpJ7Fxg?version=3" /><a href
   ="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/" target="blank"><img src="http://www.adobe.
   com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get flash player
   to play to this file" width="88" height="31" /></a></object>`
 * Just put your information in width, height, data and value.
