Can't see video on my web page, just click to play button...

Question

Hello!
I just made my first video tutorial and created a Quicktime video. I also made it web ready, which created a folder with the "how to," a poster image, etc. I read the directions and viewed the code for adding it to my web site, but I am new to HTML, etc. and seem to be doing something wrong. All I get is the "Click to Play Button" when I view my page in the browser.
I want to add a link on my blog that will open the page with the video on it in a browser window so it can be viewed. Like this one:
http://cdn.libsyn.com/cspodcast/podcast-BR-flatview.mp4
If anyone can help, here is the link to the page where I have the code:

Much appreciated!!

Here is what I did...
1. I created the video in Snapz Pro. Then I saved it to my desktop.
2. Next, I uploaded the image file, which is a .mov file to my web site. I put mine in a folder called img.
3. Now this is the best part, go to this web site:
http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step2_qtv2.php?mediatype=QuickTime
4. I selected Web Server and then went to the next screen. On the next screen, add the web server name and the file path. I am a newbie so I made the mistake of adding the entire file path. You only need to add the info. after the web name. Example:
My web server is: http://www.robenmariesmith.com
My file path is: img/tutorials/PSActionsTutorial.mov
Select the pixel image size for your largest image for width and height.
Make the other selections that it requests and click Submit.
5. On the next screen you can actually test your media. If all is working, copy and paste the code into your web site.
Let me know if you need any more help and I will help if I can!
Cheers,
