   Hi,
   I haven't updated my blog in awhile and I forgot how to upload a smaller sized you tube video for my text widget.
   I put those on the right side bar of my blog.
   I've been going to insert media from URL and then copying the URL and adding h...30] --but it's not working.
   Thank you.
   Melissa

   The blog I need help with is stopsmartmetersirvine.com.

   I wonder if there is something wrong with the url I'm using.

   This is the youtube video I'm trying to put on my web site and I notice it's not coming up as a video even in normal sized.

   The right URL is this:
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexAKXIovLs&
   And the shortcode you need in the Text widget is this:
   [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexAKXIovLs&w=200]

   Sorry, made a mistake at the end of the URL:
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WexAKXIovLs
   Shortcode as shown.
