Yes, this is a tutorial for self-hosted users. I’m not really familiar with how things work over on WordPress.com. I’m sure they have a method for adding YouTube videos if you post on their forums.

Hi Justin, stumbled upon your post, great stuff! Problem, my Wordpress new post menu says “Add New Post” and I cannot find any “custom field” at all – according to you, at the bottom of the “Write Post” screen there is a section labeled “Custom Fields.”

Is this by chance only for Wordpress.org or self-hosted users? I am currently using wordpress.com. My blogsite is loveyouwrongtime.wordpress.com. Please let me know if there’s a way I can embed the youtube widget into my blog, I would be so grateful!

Justin, you mentioned that you have updated this code and apparently placed it somewhere in the forums.

Would you provide a link to the forum thread where the update appears?

Thank you.

A lot more than I was expecting! Is there an existing plug-in or could this be made into a plug-in? The instructions are clear but code intimidates most contemporary bloggers.
