Vimeo and YouTube embed still not working on blog --Am I crazy?

Elise
I've been trying to embed both YouTube videos and Vimeo videos on my blog, and I've never been able to get it to work.  I've tried with and without nabble embed tags, in both html and plain text formats…

Most recently, I'm trying to embed
<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/77191545" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p>It's Time from Jonathan- Elise Strickland on Vimeo.</p>

The best I could get was in html format with no nabble tags, but that just left me with a blank space in the body of my blog post.

Driving myself crazy pouring over forums threads - what am I doing wrong?

I knew that YouTube had recently changed its code that they ask you to paste, but had not realised that Vimeo seems to be doing the same thing.

You'll see that the iframe code is missing the required "http:" before the double slash in the URL.

Aha, Eureka!  …I think part of the confusion is that the embedded video still isn't showing up in preview mode, so it's difficult to tell right away whether it worked.  But when I published my post it showed up.  Thank you!!
