 * Bit of an odd one. I just tried to embed a YouTube video into my blog and it 
   appears okay on the individual post, but doesn’t appear on my front page. Can
   anyone help?

 * This opne is resolved. I needed to add to my congig.ini file:
 * excerpt_allowed_tags = “a,img,abbr,blockquote,b,cite,pre,code,em,label,i,p,span,
   strong,ul,ol,li,script,object,embed”

 * Config.ini? There is no file with such name in WordPress. You will not see a 
   YouTube video in the home page because `the_excerpt();` eliminates all HTML tags
   other than `<p>`.
 * If you want to show the video on your home page, edit your theme’s `index.php`
   or `home.php` and find `the_excerpt();` then change it to `the_content();`.

 * Make sure the specific youtube clip allows embedding.
