This is the post where I learn to embed a video clip …
I started with a sentence intro’ing my post. ‘Stumbled across this video clip entirely serendipitously just after realizing I’m no longer living on a knife edge between two dramas.’
Intended to embed without a drama. The instructions are clear, can I follow directions finally?
I followed the directions and pasted a link to the content I wanted to embed. I clicked on the button EMBED. It tells me to paste an URL. Huh? Where? Like, the box where is filled with the link?
I click on ‘Learn more about embeds’ and I’m told everything I already know and that I have already done.
No. Wait … scrolling further down I learn that I need to paste in the URL which acts as a link. Never mind FB telling me to do it the other way round. I’ll give the WP way another go.
So I paste the URL.
I get a tell … ‘Sorry this content could not be embedded.’ And two blue boxes with ‘Try again.’ and ‘Convert to link.’
But. In actual fact. Checking the post I see that I have a LINK where I had expected an EMBED.
LOL, topping Everest!
Not the one I wanted of a couple of climbers negotiating an edge.
Back to the drawing board
