Problem with video hopping to the right...

Hi to all,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum section to put this question in but here it is anyway.

I just started a blog which I put in the subfolder of my website at http://www.website-copy-writer.com/blog/
I have just a few posts on there.
On one of my posts, I included a video. The video should go just with the post which is titled "5 year old boys hair distraction".

The problem is when viewing the entire page, which you will see when you click on the above link, the video sits at the top right of the entire page and puts all other posts out of zink.

I want the video to sit under the post with which it's intended.
I'm sure it's a very simple problem but I can't figure it out, mainly because the css is written in the video code, not on a separate page, which is something I'm not familiar with.
Here's the code for the video:

Code:

  <p id="cubeDiv" style="position: absolute; left: 20pt"><span style="position: relative; z-index: 2"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" id="swfclipv964493" height="551" width="351"></object></span></p>
  <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param>
 <param name="movie" value="http://thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=v964493&amp;m=209359 &amp;v=1"></param>
 <param name="base" value="."></param>
 <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=v964493&amp;m=209359&a mp;v=1" base="." wmode="transparent" name="swfclipv964493" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="551" width="351"></embed><span id="voxAdv964493" style="position: absolute; z-index: 2"></span>

Thanks to all...

Got bored after 30 seconds waiting for it to load.

but

Code:

<p id="cubeDiv" style="position: absolute; left: 20pt">

20pt ?????
points are meaningless on screens it is a print measurement for typesetting

what browser are you using? because the <object> is taken out of the document flow while the <embed> is in a different place

Also inline style (as in your code) is no different to any other kind of style.
