technical difficulties!!

So that video post didn't happen...not the way I wanted. I signed up for a dang YouTube account just so's I could post You Tube vids in a nifty way (with the vid queued to go on the blog w/ a big play button on it) I figured establishing a YouTube account and then posting videos from there would do it. And I've tried numerous times to post a video and keep getting the message saying "The video will be posted to your blog shortly " But nothing! Either I botched the setup process somehow, or YouTube's notion of "shortly" is something like 3-4 weeks.
