Natasha Goncharova asked, “how [do you] embed a video so that it is played within my [WordPress] blog vs. sends the reader off somewhere else to watch it?” and I gave a stab at answering her…
I responded, “the only real way to do inline embedded videos on WordPress is to avoid using the Rich Text Editor.
If you go to Dashboard (admin) > Users > Your Profile > Personal Options (scroll down), then uncheck the “Use the visual rich editor when writing.???
After you post the YouTube, Revver, or Google Video embed code, then you can come back there and check it back again.
What I do is have two authors — one that has its “Use the visual rich editor when writing??? checked and one that doesn’t — one has a login of “chris??? and one with a login of “chrisa??? and then come in as the author with or without “Use the visual rich editor when writing??? checked.”
