I can easily embed youtube clips, but I can't figure out how to embed tweets. I tried using the same method (click on "<>source"  and paste the embed code), but it brings up a new page with the following message: 

Sorry, you have been blocked

Anyone with any tips on embedding tweets?

The crazy thing is that I successfully embedded a tweet several months ago, but it was completely by accident and I have no idea how I did it—it was like a monkey actually typing out Shakespeare.*

The problem with this stupid system here is the lack of being able to edit OPs.

* I kept monkeying with things and discovered you need to click the squarish icon to the right of the picture insert icon—it's titled "media embed"—and a separate window pops up with space to enter the URL.

Go to the twitter source and click the "share" icon at far right, and a separate window pops up, and click "copy link to tweet" at the bottom.

Enter that URL in the MGoBlog "media embed" window, and hit "save."

Priceless.  Already played it three times.  Great to hear a distinguished commentator and legend in his field turn into a giddy Daddy!  Can't wipe the grin off my face.

Years ago when cte was making players retire younger over fear I asked him if it affected him in his views towards his kids playing tackle, he said he wasn't going to put them in tackle until they were older and understood the game/injuries from positions they put their bodies in.
