You've reached support for the free blogs at WordPress.com. The blog you specified in your post is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, and the best place to find support is the WordPress.org Community forums.

Here on WordPress.com, it's not possible to download and install themes. Instead, you may select from the over 200 themes we have available in our Theme Showcase.

Please see this article for more information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

I hope this helps clarify things!

Were you referring to a different page?

I downloaded Mozilla Firefox and I can now watch the video!!!

So, since you can see the video on IE and I can on Firefox, it leads me to conclude that Google Chrome might be the problem. I went to whatbrowser.org and it says I am using Chrome 26, the most recent version. Any way I can fix this with Chrome?

Thanks!

Thank you! I'll let you know what happens.

It's a Quicktime Movie video and, when it finishes uploading, it seems fine. But then when I embed it into the site, and click play, there is grey in place of my video. I can still hear the audio crystal clear.

WordPress.com currently supports embedding videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, Flickr, DailyMotion, Viddler, Blip.tv, TED Talks, Educreations, and Videolog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

Video
With the purchase of the VideoPress you are permitted to upload the following video file types, in addition to the basic file types listed above. Note that purchasing VideoPress will not enable you to also upload audio files. If you wish to upload audio files, you need the Space Upgrade, as well.

.mp4, .m4v (MPEG-4)
.mov (QuickTime)
.wmv (Windows Media Video)
.avi
.mpg
.ogv (Ogg)
.3gp (3GPP)

I have been trying to upload a video that is a little less than a minute. I am doing so on a MacBook Pro. It's a Quicktime Movie video and, when it finishes uploading, it seems fine. But then when I embed it into the site, and click play, there is grey in place of my video. I can still hear the audio crystal clear.

When I was reading one of the forums, I saw something about adding a Media Element Plugin, so I did so, uploaded the video again and I'm still having the same issue. Please tell me what to do to fix the video.

Thank you!

Kind Regards,
Jillian

I did figure out the second question though so ignore that one (I can't seem to figure out where to delete the second question)

Thanks

Hoping for some insight from the WP community!

Any insights or suggestions?

its about a install of wordpress 1.5.1 on my own server

We provide support here only for free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and no others. We don not provide support for local installs of WordPress>ORG software here. You are posting to the wrong support forums. If you don't have a username account at WordPress.org click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.org bloggers.

I'm currently creating a site under wordpress 1.5.1
I've just uploaded wordpress clean and got trough the installation process.

Somehow when I upload a image it is broken. in the media menu item it gives the broken image icon. and when I insert it in a post it gives the broken link icon on edititing. and when published and fewed on the website it just doesnt show up at all.

The only way it displays correctly is if I click edit from the media screen and then on edit image..

Anyone knows what is wrong?

Thanx in advance,
Merijn de Klerk

As for the URL it's very simple. You're on this web page right now; every page has a URL that is unique to it. If you look up to the top of your browser window you'll see a very narrow long box that has this in it:

http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/so-sorry-but-i-need-some-advise?replies=7

That is the URL. To get the URL of any YouTube video, you go to the page the video is on, then in the URL window at the top of the page, you copy the URL, all of it. If you click on the YouTube URL I gave you above, it goes to a page with an Elvis Costello video. To make that video display in your blog, you just follow the instructions we gave you in the other thread, using that URL, the same one that's above, which is also the same one you'll see in the URL window when you go to YouTube.

You go to the page on YouTube that has the video. Once you're on the page, in the browser bar, you copy the entire URL that is listed there. That is what you put in the blog. You don't start truncating it at the word "watch" and just adding on whatever you want. If you want to direct people to your account at YouTube, go to your profile page and copy the URL from the browser bar.
