More a note-to-self:

The last post which embedded a video destroyed the WordPress template. WordPress stripped and messed with the </object> and <p> tags.

You can turn off the wysiwymg (What You See is What You Might Get) editor in
==> WordPress > WP-Admin > Options > Writing.
  => Uncheck [_] ‘Users should use the visual rich editor by default’.

This gives a pretty stripped down editor but provides a very useful <code>tag which allowed me to embed the SecondLife video:

<code>
  <object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/showplayer.swf?enablejs=true&file=http%3A//blip.tv/rss/flash/557674&feedurl=http%3A//HeyTC.blip.tv/rss/&autostart=false&brandname=HeyTC&brandlink=http%3A//HeyTC.blip.tv/” width=”400″ height=”255″ allowfullscreen=”true” id=”showplayer”>
    <param name=”movie” value=”http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/showplayer.swf?enablejs=true&file=http%3A//blip.tv/rss/flash/557674&feedurl=http%3A//HeyTC.blip.tv/rss/&autostart=false&brandname=HeyTC&brandlink=http%3A//HeyTC.blip.tv/” />
    <param name=”quality” value=”best” />
  </object>
