How to embed Vimeo into your WordPress blog
This is a short video showing you how to put video from Vimeo into a post on your WordPress blog. Make sure you select an video size that is smaller than your column width, otherwise the video will throw off the column.
when i do this, the embedded video throws all the content of the central column blog off to the side.
The reason your column is thrown off is due to the video being larger than the column width. I would suggest you check to see how wide your column is and then paste the right size video into your blog. That should work fine.
