Disaster in trying to upgrade word press

I tried to upgrade word press but it failed. I had backed up my files, but the theme I had is missing quite a few widgets. Please bear with me.

At least the site is here, where there was a blank before.

Too late in the night to fix now.

How to embed a youtube video into a word press blog

I’ve been attempting to embed a video tutorial for a couple of days but each time I tried the formatting of the blog got broken up. After some research, here is what I discovered.

You do it differently depending upon whether you have a wordpress.com blog or a wordpress.org one.

For Word Press.org (this type) you get the embed code from Youtube of the tutorial you wish to display. You go to Users> Profile on your Word press dashboard. You unclick ‘Use visual editor’ You paste the embed code into your post. After completing any other video embedding go back to Users>Profile and click on ‘Use Visual editor’ again.
You cannot Edit any of these posts later.

For WordPress.com try this.

Get the URL link to the video. Paste the following into your post.

[ youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=_dIya1aJJKA]

Alter to suit the video you want to display.
