can't see book preview I embedded
-
Hello there,
I cannot see a visual book preview I embedded on my wordpress blog from Blurb. I copied and pasted the link to my blog in the text section but it does not display a visual preview. I used the same link on my website which is a wordpress theme and was able to see the entire visual preview. Can you please advise.thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What code did you use? If it was an iframe, that is not allowed here for security & reliability reasons
-
-
Please post the code here, between the “Backtick” symbols (the one below the Tilde ~) – or the code tools at the top of the box – then someone can take a look at it – WordPress.COM strips many types of code for security and reliability reasons

Flash is not permitted – there is a workaround, but not my strong suite – see below
-
Can you please elaborate? Not sure that I understand the workaround. Want to have a visual preview on my wp blog : )

the Gigya Short code is the only way to put flash on a WordPress.COM blog – Panos has several tutorials and such on how to do the conversion – you copy some of the code you got and put part of the code into the Gigya Short Code to make things run – sorry I can’t be of much more help –
I have only used it a couple of times and was not always able to make things work
What about writing a paragraph on why the review is great and a link back? – yes not on your blog but at lease people could see the review

Hi Jeanny,
Try this:
[gigya src="http://www.blurb.com/assets/embed.swf?book_id=4643255"]I got it to work for a test post on my blog:Test Blurb Embed.

Rather than pasting the code that you posted earlier today, replace it with the code above.

Hi there. Place this entire code below in my blog rather than the long code?
[gigya src="http://www.blurb.com/assets/embed.swf?book_id=4643255"] -

It worked!! Thank you so much for you help!! Thanks for your appreciation of the photos!

[gigya src="http://www.blurb.com/assets/embed.swf?book_id="]between the = sign and the ” at the end of the code, put your book Id number.
