Upload the files by creating a folder in joomla root.

Go to Module Manger -> New -> mod_custom [ custom html module ].

Click on the html link in the html editor -> pop up will appear

Enter the Embed Code into the Html Text area.

Save

Thanks

Just to add to the above. You may run into problems with the new filters in Joomla 1.6. From default J1.6 will strip a lot of code from both articles and from html modules such as this. This will even happen if you select “No Editor” in the Joomla back end. This is all part of the new security added to J1.6 and is causing some confusion with new and seasoned Joomla users alike.

To disable this for a particular user group go to the article manager page. On the top right area of the screen you will see the options button (looks like a light switch). Click on that and it will bring up a set of tabbed pages. Click on the “Text Filters” tab. For the super users group and the administrators group set the text filters in the dropdowns to “No Filters” then save your settings. You will then be able to add your custom code to the html modules or articles without it getting stripped out.
