me: hey, I'm having trouble posting a YouTube video
me: did what it seemed I should do
Erik: you need to switch over to html editor
Erik: when the edit screen opens up, it's in visual editor
Erik: there's a tab for html
Erik: paste the code in there and you should be okay
Erik: videos should be under - I think - 500 px width
me: post embed code?
Erik: Youtube videos have embed code
Erik: if you go to youtube and click on embed you'll see a box filled with html code
Erik: you need to make sure the size of the video is correct and then copy and paste that code
Erik: email me the url of the youtube video and I'll show you what I mean
me: heh heh
me: gladly
me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qszVH0JCAYk
Erik: okay give me a sec
me: do take your time
Erik: ok - sent you an email, hopefully the embed code doesn't actually embed the video and shows up as code.
me: ok, thanks
Erik: let me know if you have problems
me: I published it but video doesn't appear
me: how do I unpublish?
Erik: go into the post and on the right hand side there should be some options "Pending Review" "Draft" etc. that should change it to un-published.
Erik: I'll see if Mark can take a look for the time being and I'll fix your account this evening
me: okay, got it unpublished, thanks
Erik: yeah, sorry about the limited access
Erik: One would think that an Author account would have access to embed videos
Erik: I guess you will now be promoted to Editor
Erik: make sure you're logged out of the post and Mark will try to edit / publish it for you
me: okay, just logged out.
Erik: thanks
Erik: Done
me: thanks
me: now the healing can begin
Erik: at long last
Erik: I'll get you fixed up later so that you can post videos without issue.
