There are lots of tutorials around that web on how you can easily embed a YouTube video into your WordPress or blogger/blogspot post such as this one I wrote sometime ago here, but even as simple as it may seem, resizing those videos to your desired width and height isn’t as straight forward as embedding them into your blogpost page.
Basically, to embed a Youtube Video, you need to follow the below steps.
1. Right click on the very video you wish to embed from YouTube.
2. Click on Copy Embed code. Click on the Text editing tab in wordpress/blogger post editing page and then paste the copied code.
Note that the embed code should look like this.
<iframe src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/HmL2l-bcuUQ?feature=player_detailpage” width=”640″ height=”360″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”></iframe>
Now here is the tricky part when you wish to resize the video. Note the codes you have contain the width and height tags as highlighted in blue below.

3. You can change those values to whatever sizes you wish before publishing your wordpress or blogger post and that’s it.
