 * Hi
    I used to be able to easily embed video. I have Simple youtube plugin installed.
   Now when I try It starts but then fails each time.
 * I have also been given a line of code to embed and this is new to me despite 
   having a plugin nothing happens.
 * Please note this is new to me and I do not have technical ability
 * Thank you.

 * You don’t need a plugin to embed.
 * Try uninstalling that plugin and take a look at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds](http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds)
 * You basically only need to just paste the YouTube link and it should show up.
