So still trying with the videos...

Hey guys.  Im still trying to figure out how to embed videos into my enthusiast blog.  I tried copying and pasting the embed code from youtube onto a new post, but still no luck.  I figured out a new way to do it though.  Its actually not new but its a creative alternative.
  I decided to take still shots from the live rock performances that I was posting.  So for example, I wanted to show Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" from 1976.  I was having that same trouble embedding the video into my blog, so I inserted a still image from the performance.  After I did this, I added a link underneath the picture.  I thought that this idea was better than simply posting the link.  It looked  alot like this...

Stevie Nicks Cal Jam: 1978

So what do you all think?  I think that if I'm having trouble actually embedding the video into my blog, then this is the better alternative.  It gives the readers an idea of what they will be watching as well as the link.  If anyone else is having trouble, I suggest doing this.   But if you're reading this and know how to embedd a video....could you please tell me?  It would make things easier and faster.

Thanks!
