    I have an about me page, and I want to embed a resume. I already made the resume page, but how do I make it show in the about me page? I don’t want it to show as a link, it should be in its own window.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi Jeff,

    Good morning. I hope you’re doing great.

    Would you like to embed the PDF version of your resume? If so, you can use the File Block, which allows you to upload the PDF file and embed it on your webpage. For step-by-step instructions, please follow the article below.

    Hi Jeff,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    As was suggested earlier, the simplest way to display your resume through a File Block, which allows displaying the full PDF embedded on the page:

    Another option is by embedding an excerpt that will look similar to the embeds in this reply.

    Additionally, you can keep your resume as a separate page, and add a button to that page on the About Me page.

    thanks for the suggestion to use a pdf file block, which sounds suitable.
    still, I wonder if embedding another web page (within the current page) is possible. Can I assume that is not possible?

    perhaps a synced pattern is what you are looking for – https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/create-a-pattern/#synced-patterns

    synced pattern sounds interesting, but it doesn’t mention the ability to embed a second web page in the first.
    As an example, imagine there is a page showing a map of the weather conditions in my area ( and let’s assume there are no publishing restrictions on use of this page). I would want to make a page of my own, describing weather in general, and then have an embedded image or complete page that comes from the first weather page. It would be refreshed with current weather whenever my general page was updated.

    is it possible?

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    is it possible?

    There are many factors to weigh here and, in theory, the answer is yes. But it is only possible with HTML and the iframe tag. Due to security reasons, using the iframe HTML tag is only possible on websites that use plugins. On WordPress.com, this requires a Business plan.

    Indeed, I personally think this is the best recommendation thus far. You can transform the content on your Resume page into a pattern:
