Shazaam! I found a plugin that does this. I then tested it and the results? Booo! However I found that this is simply no longer needed just find the ted talk that you want and click on share. Copy the embed info and past it into your blog post and poof you are all set. Example… http://www.jessejameson.com/personal-interests/ted-talk-2-years-20-minutes-in-a-biosphere/
