Help Needed
Embedding videos from YT:
When I imported my entries over from LJ, embedded videos from YT failed to materialise. I knew this was a known issue at the time. I planned to follow the FAQ advice (at a later date) and re-paste in embed code from YT into the relevant entries.
I tried that tonight and the code still doesn't register or show to a/any video. I just get a broken icon and a white dotted line around the space where the vid should be. This also happens if I try to embed a video into a new post.
Anyone know why this is?
And if there is a work around?
I have made some custom CSS tweaks on my dreamwidth
.contents .userpic {
float: right;
position: relative;
left: 2.5 px;
top: 2.5px;
border: 0px;
}
#container {
width: 99%;
margin: auto%;
font-size: 100%;
text-align: left; /* IE fix */}
#content {
width: 75%;
display: inline;
float: right;
text-align: left;
font-size: 111%; line-height: 1.2em;
margin: auto%;
border-left-style: double;
border-left-color: black;
border-left-width: 3px;
}
But I very much doubt that these are what's interfering. They seem really basic - which of course is why I managed to plonk them in the CSS box successfully to begin with! *grin*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Problem which was identified as user error *g* solved thanks to the gracious and helpful people on the thread.
