  I have an existing audio library hosted by Big Contact. I wanted to combine all my activities in one place so started a new blog on wordpress.com No matter what i do I cannot embed the code from the Big Contact feed player and I am at a loss.
  Please don’t advise me to search the forums the all talk about code and and plugins and I don’t understand it at all. I just want to know whether it is possible or not – if I have to buy an upgrade I will but I would rather build a new blog elsewhere than reload over 150 podcasts that have a following
  I am perplexed and confused, this is the only thing stopping me promoting my new site – my podcast are currently held at my old site http://www.iainkemppoetry.com which is a blog within a larger blog, and that’s why I wanted to set up on my own.
  I really do need an urgent response to this problem
  Thank you
  Iain

  Hi there,

  I don’t believe that you will be able to embed the audio player from Big Contact, however I’ll be happy to take a look. If you could paste the code which Big Contact provided you for your audio player here, I’ll take a look and see if it contains code which we don’t allow in our environment.

  Hi there,

  Code which makes use of flash (which this player does) indeed cannot be used in our environment. We have a list of the types of code which can and cannot be used right here:

  Add Code to Your Site

  If you would like to upload podcasts to your WordPress.com account, you will need to upgrade your blog’s size allowance (which is required in order to allow audio files) at which point you can re-upload and embed any of the podcasts which you’d like.
