  Hello,

  I’d really like to embed this live page into one of my blog posts:

  http://www.substance.com/live-drug-stats-visualizing-drug-use-in-america/13180/#comment-53701

  Is it possible? I’ve tried copy-pasting the embed code from the website into a new blog post with the Text tab selected, but all it comes up with in Preview is a live link.

  Thanks for your help,

  Simon

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

  It is not possible to embed the live pages from some other websites into WordPress.com posts.

  Other sites may contain bad markup or Javascript or some other executable code that could jeopardize security of the WordPress.com that is shared by millions of other people’s blogs and websites. Therefore WordPress.com does not allow code embeds.

  Embeds could also make your blog fall into one of the categories of blogs that are not allowed on WordPress.com.
