You’ve posted a blog post on the members blog and suddenly realised that the youtube video didn’t work, the link failed, the spelling was awful etc. Well you can change that!
It’s just not where you might think it is. There’s no on-screen edit button next to your blog post; instead you have to go to Members on the top menu, and then Read Blog, and then My Blog Dashboard or click here: https://billwhittlecom.wpenginepowered.com/my-blog-dashboard/
Here you can see all your blog posts, and edit/update each one as needed
.
NOTE: Usually you need to put your video URL into the Video Embed box, at the bottom of the form. However it looks like the Embed widget has fallen over.
Please instead copy/paste the youtube URL into the text block, but change it to the format https: // www . youtube . com / embed / 12345676543 (without the spaces)
OR
by typing {EMBED} URL GOES HERE {/EMBED} and change those curly brackets for square ones.

Thank you thank you! Just did this myself. I’m new to the blogs here and don’t know what I’m doing. Thank you much.
do you know how to change my user name? So I don’t look like a bot to people.

Thank you thank you👍
But the video URL into the Video Embed box did not work in my Gaslighting post.
Yes, I’ve had that experience as well.
It looks like the Embed widget has fallen over. Please do it manually in the text block by typing [EMBED] URL GOES HERE [/EMBED]
Thanks I got it to work.
You can also change the format of the youtube link so that it is https : // www . youtube . com / embed / 12345676543 — without the spaces of course.
Thanks, I was searching for that.
Thank you!!! Wondered where this was! My man-sized fingers don’t go well with this effing keyboard.
That’s why I work with the PC. There you can attach as big of a keyboard as you can find.
I have stumpy, but not necessarily fat fingers and I have to use a stylus on a phone or tablet.
