Hey, how did you get that video to work? I tried to post it on my blog and it won't.
Hi Cheryl,
I clicked on the video, clicked embed (which appears on the right), then clicked copy (to copy the code) and pasted it.
If you've tried this over here and it didn't work, maybe try going over to Nick's Crusade and doing it on the original video?
