Here's the youtube link: http://youtu.be/rSEfdTQbMlw

And here is what I have been trying to embed: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/rSEfdTQbMlw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I tried adding the http as advised one of the previous responses.

If you are trying to view the video in Preview you can not do that. It will only load once it is uploaded to your website.

Publish your site to test the code and let us know how it goes. :)

Just tried again… hmmm. I must be doing something incorrectly. Perhaps I am embedding incorrectly?
When I add the code a box comes up and asks me to "add files" to the server but I have been unable to do that. I go to the EDIT tab, access ADD FILES, then I am stuck. Am I adding the html code here or the link to the youtube video?

Why are you attempting to add files? That is only needed if you SPECIFICALLY have files needed to make the player work. For Youtube, you simply add the HTML. There is nothing else you have to do.

Yes, that is the box that pops up. I ignored it until my video was not posting. Then I thought perhaps I needed to add more.
I have never had this trouble before putting a video on my site.

Scott means a link to your webpage, not the youtube one.
