Vimeo help!

    I've been trying to upload a Vimeo video into a blog post I am working on but it will not post on my .com blog.

    I've copied the URL from vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/16392996 and put it in the URL space. Every time I click "insert to post" I don't see anything. I've also tried putting the embed code and that doesn't do anything either:

    <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/16392996" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><p>EX-Testimonies from Destiny Metropolitan Worship Ch. on Vimeo.</p>

    What am I doing wrong?

    The blog I need help with is lucydazilma.wordpress.com.

    G'day,
    You must insert the shortcode into a new post or page using one of the following formats. Make sure to replace the URL or ID with the one you are using.

    hi,
    I tried to embed a vimeo video as described in a new post, too: pressing the adding video icon, entering the vimeo shortcut: [vimeo 16990630] but it does not show up.
    The same procesure with YouTube videos works fine.

    Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

    You want to add this
    [vimeo 16990630]
    directly into the HTML tab in the editor where you want the video to appear.

    Using the add video button is problematic and does not always work. I always add the code directly to the HTML tab and never have issues unless I mess up the code that is.

    You can see a sample here: http://flippintestblog.wordpress.com/ . I added the code directly to the HTML tab and hit publish.

    Juhuuu, it works! Thanks for the tip! HTML was the keyword.

    You're welcome and glad it is working for you.
