This is a short tutorial on how to add video on your wordpress.com site. It is on the WordPress.tv site. It is clear and walks you through using this cool plugin feature.
Note that using a self-hosted WordPress.org means you insert a plug-in. But using the hosted WordPress.com means you must pay for an upgrade.

The process of helping the search engines find your blog is called Search Engine Optimization or SEO. Whereas, I have added a category for all future posts I found an excellent one today.
This post on SEO was written by a great blogger and I know you will appreciate it.
I read about this blogging on a very good blogging directory called Blog Catalog. I encourage each one of you to submit your blog for listing in this directory.
Please read it and attempt to practice at least one of the points and you will be making progress.
What questions do you have?
Now many of you who read the title may get confused. You are saying I already have a domain name with this hosted blog platform. Well, the key is the term “hosted blog”.
Remember that WordPress.com is a Hosted Blog Platform. WordPress.org is a self-hosted blog platform.
With the WordPress.com (hosted) platform your blog address will have “username.wordpress.com. However, when you go to a self hosted platform you will need domain name that you purchase. Your url will read username.com/org/net/info, etc
Now, the good news is that if you are on hosted WordPress.com you can still have your own domain name WITHOUT the .wordpress.com at the end. All you have to do is go to UPGRADES on your Administration panel.
It is the very last, I mean very last option on panel. Click it on and for a small fee you can upgrade. You will first need to purchase a domain name and then place it the the field indicated.
Ok, now if you want a video just let me know. Hope this helps.
