This post should be helpful when you are expected to embed/post a video to your MAIN blog page – not on additional pages – along with text that goes with the video.
This blog post explains one additional way to accomplish this.
First create the text that will accompany your blog post – and publish it.
Then go to your dashboard. When you get to the dashboard, select POSTS. Then select ALL POSTS. Move the mouse pointer over the page that you just published. Select EDIT. Move your mouser pointer to the very end of the contents of your text. Then at the top of the page select ADD MEDIA. Then on the left side of the page select INSERT FROM URL. Copy the link to your video into the first blank box at the top of the page. Be sure to type a title for your video into the second blank box on the page. Then click INSERT INTO POST at the bottom of the page.
That is how I got this video embedded into my blog entry.
