Best Bug Fix For Youtube Player Incompatibility With Blog
In the latest version of WordPress, and, I suspect, other blog platforms, there is an incompatibility between the Youtube embed code and the visual editor.
To work around this bug, here is how to embed video into your blog posts and pages:
I had to fix the videos in code view, here are instructions for now, to work around the incompatibility of the Youtube player with the visual editor:
1. Build the rest of the page forst
2. In the editor, click HTML tab, now you are looking at code, but the text is still text so you can see where you are
3. Insert the embed code from Youtube: example:
<object width=”640″ height=”385″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed></object><br />
4. Remove everything but this:
<embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed>
5. Surround the embed code like this with
<div><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YAwJR0_G2vU&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”385″></embed></div>
6. Save without going back to visual editor.

I here it almost everyday:
“Must I post, can’t you just make me rank on Google search without me having to do anything?”
The answer is yes, and not.
What good will it do you? Even if i know some ways to fool somebody into coming to your worthless, page, what would be the point?
Very soon (and is some ways already) it will only be the value of your site to your visitors, and how long they spend there that determines your rankings; the tips and tricks of Gurus like me will not help you, if Google knows that people do not stay on your site; and Google already knows everything.
I am living proof that most of you would rather buy sweet lies than hear the truth. But the truth is still the truth. It is all about the value of the resources you provide now.
Stop buying sweet lies. You need video, interaction, and real content to compete online in 2010: and the best way to get these things on a scale that will scale, is user-generated, user-filtered content. The way to get that, is with a social media enabled site.

Wordpress is web software for online publishing. Notice that I didn’t use the word blog, even though wordpress is blogging software. It has been expanded to be A LOT more then that and shouldn’t considered in the same class as most blogging software. It’s a robust CMS (content management system) that empowers every type of website with users that include CNN, Playstation and the New York Times.
With website technology changing daily, choosing the right content management system or simply the actual software that organizes and runs a website is absolutely crucial to your success online. For most websites I’d highly recommend building with WordPress and here is why: (more…)
