# Paragraph problems when adding embedded object

 * Hello,
 * We want to embed a video in a blog post. When we paste in the code – which seems
   to be written correctly and works well when pasted into a normal web page with
   valid HTML – it causes an extra </p> tag to be added to the code. I can see that
   extra tag in the source code after the blog post is published, but of course 
   I can’t get to it from the WordPress interface.
 * The published blog post is the 4th post down, titled “Video Walkthrough”: [http://blog.miraverse.com/](http://blog.miraverse.com/).
   See how, below that post, the paragraph spacing is messed up.
 * Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Patty

 * Since the video is no longer embedded in the post, I can’t directly see what 
   you mean – but in my experience an extra closing-p tag shouldn’t affect anything.(
   Though being new to WordPress, I have seen some… _interesting_ unintended effects).
 * That said, if you’re comfortable editing the source code, try replacing the </
   p> tag that you _can_ see with something innocuous like a non-breaking space.
   Or replace both P tags with DIV tags. If nothing else, it should tell you whether
   there’s something in the HTML tags or… something else.

 * Paul, thanks very much for replying. I apologize, my client took down the post
   because it was causing problems with everything below it on the page.
 * I’m very comfortable editing the source code, but I’m confused – where and how
   can I actually get at the source code? When I click the “Code” tab, I only see
   the code that my client pasted in. The other text is there, but is free of HTML
   tags. But when I View Source from Firefox, there’s plenty of HTML in there. How
   can I edit it directly?
 * I really appreciate your help.
 * Patty
