 * When I insert YouTube videos on my page I usually use the object code.
    Should
   I use the iframe code instead?
 * (I know very little about this subject).
 * Thanks in advance.

 * You can set the width and height by going to Settings > media in your admin.

 * Yes, but what about this: ” It also allows you to set a maximum **(but not fixed)**
   width and height, like so: [embed width="123" height="456"]…[/embed]“
 * So I suppose I can not determine a precise width and height?
 * Maybe I misread it. My English … (I’m Danish – and school is long ago. I use 
   google to translate with 🙂
