Embed codes may look and seem crazy and scary, but once you realize that it is all copying and pasting, they can become your best friend. Embedding means to take the object and having it show up on your blog post. For example, you can embed voicethreads, youtube videos, vimeo videos, volkaroo audio files, etc. The video below shows you a few examples of things to embed into your blog.
