Are you following the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/video/youtube/ ?

If so, what is the URL of the page that it isn’t working on?

Doesn’t work for me either. When I follow those instructions, it only shows the link on my post, NOT the actual embedded video. ????

I’m trying to embed this youtube video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRlZgeaFbLg

Into this post:
http://30days2011.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/dont-try-this-at-home-playing-with-hot-glass/

Help!!
