How to embed a Youtube video into a WordPress post…

by on Mar.08, 2011, under Work and stuff

Start off by writing your text using the visual editor. Once your text has been entered go to the Youtube video you would like displayed and click the embed button, there are some settings below allowing you to configure the layout. Copy the embed code which should look something like this:

<iframe title=”YouTube video player” width=”425″ height=”349″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/bsjbkOX7gUA?rel=0″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Next click the HTML tab in the Add New Post editor and copy and paste this iframe code above or below your text depending on the desired layout. You can then preview the page and change back to the Visual tab of the editor if you need to change the text or layout. Wash, rinse, repeat.
