I’ve wanted this since I began blogging with WordPress.com [November 30, 2008]. Now I have it and I’m really happy about it. I found how to on the WP.com Widgets Forum in this thread [ Images and icons- Coraline ].

It is more technical than I understand, you I am able to have my YouTube Videos play in my sidebar. The history on this is a matter of security concerns for WordPress. I respect that and only hoped that one day I could. That day is today! This is the code in my text wizard:
I will rotate video periodically. Jus select play to begin watching in your browser. I hope you like this feature.
Looking good, my man! I particularly like the sidebar video. The layout of the overall page is also quite nice.
