Embed from Carbonmade to WordPress.
-
I am trying to Embed my Portfolio, found: http://adamhphoto.carbonmade.com/ into my Portfolio page of my WP site. Is this doable? I hear almost anything is possible with CSS too. I now have the CSS upgrade aswell and am wondering where I might be able to find the Source Code for my Carbonmade portfolio??
I want my blog and portfolio to work within the same website. I’v been staying away from Web Hosts because I’m hard on cash and don’t have any experience what-so-ever with using them. If there’s a way for me to have my blog, and portfolio working together in the same site using WordPress.com I’d highly appreciate the How-To.
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There is no need to post the same thing twice.
The CSS upgrade doesn’t change what you can embed into your blog, only how what is in your blog gets displayed. It doesn’t change any functionality whatsoever.
If you just bought the CSS upgrade under the impression it would allow you to embed things like this, contact staff immediately and request a refund; it will not do this and it should not be purchased by those who do not already know how to use CSS.
And no, I do not know of any way to embed anything from Carbonmade; it looks like all javascript, and that’ll be completely stripped out here. You can, of course, link to it.
-
You might want to post thumbnails of your work here and link them to the full-sized spot on that gallery. That’s an idea.

“I want my blog and portfolio to work within the same website.”
Why is WordPress so picky with the websites they allow us to embed and the one’s they don’t? What’s the difference between embedding a YouTube, Vimeo, Slide.com, Slideshare.net, or Flickr Images from something like Carbonmade?
I’v had WordPress for almost a year now, and still haven’t been able to do what I’d like to do. What are my options here besides linking to my Portfolio (I’m already doing that.)
All I’v ever wanted to do with WordPress, is have a blog, and a portfolio.
Seems impossible, but yet, nothings impossible?.
Since it seems what I’m trying to do is absolutley impossible with WordPress, does anybody know of another place where I can create a free Portfolio (like the one I have on Carbonmade) along with a blog, that will both work from the same place? Without having to pay for Web Hosting and Developers and all that stuff?
I don’t want a blog/site that has to link to another site, with a link to another site, with a link back to the first site, etc, etc.
I switched from Blogspot, to WordPress. Where do I have to go next to get what I’m wanting?? I’v searched everywhere… forever.
This one homie of mine is a Graphic Designer. We’v also been discussing thing’s.
His website is: http://www.yurisgd.com
He made: http://www.connordudgeon.com
I’m willing to pay him $400 if need be to create me a website like connors. I told him we’ll wait on that… and said I could pay him $150 to re-code my Style Sheet. From what I’m understanding… he can do that for me, all while knowing I’m using WordPress and not wanting to pay for Web Hosts. He’s emailed me some idea’s of templates he’s created, and told me he can embed my Carbonmade portfolio to work within my Portfolio’s page. So when you click “Portfolio” it’s actually right on that page, working in full order.
Do I have to go back to this guy and be like “umm… actually… you can’t… so lets just nevermind all together???”
Whats the deal?
Dear WordPress: Why are you trying to be so “easy” and claiming to be “easy” when your actually more complicated then ever?? Thing’s that should be the easiest to do, take alot of work around, research, and learning completley different steps.
WordPress was created to what??? Make blogging easy for everybody???
What’s the point in having “Pages” and creating the look of a “real” “website” if your actually only a blogging platform? I’m sorry… but I cannot pay for Web Hosting every single month. And I can’t stand linking back and forth between absolutley everything I’m doing online. It just doesn’t make sense and takes the whole purpose away from things…Why have a WordPress site that allows to embed YouTube, Vimeo, Slide.com, Slideshare.net, and Flickr (all linking to and from one another) When one could just have all of them with one page with a link to all.
This is exactly like making one blank page with the title:
Check out what I’m going online:
youtube.com/adamhphoto
vimeo.com/adamhphoto
slide.com/adamhphoto
slideshare.net/adamhphoto
flickr.com/photos/adamhphoto
carbonmade.com/adamhphotoand last but not least… adamhphoto.wordpress.com then linked from each of those…
seems ummm…. stupid???
(sorry for the rant raincoaster, not directed at you in ANY WAY.)
I’m sure you can tell though… I am a bit overly frusterated. I’m trying to take advantage of all these website possibilities but their causing me to re-think everything way too frequently for my liking and making thing’s way more difficult then they seem to be. WordPress claims to be easy but it’s anything but. It’s nothing but a hassle. -
I am now copying and pasting that directly into an email straight to support.
Like I said, I switched from Blogger to WordPress. How does WordPress think people feel, when they switch places, thinking so much more is doable… only to find out, it’s nothing but the same exact thing just worse?…

I’m glad it’s not directed at me, because I’m not going to read the whole thing.
You can have a blog at WordPress.com. You can’t have a blog and an EXTERNAL portfolio at WordPress.com, because WordPress.com doesn’t host external portfolios, it only hosts blogs. And only WordPress.com blogs.
WordPress.com blogs have restrictions on the kinds of things you can embed, post, etc, because we share the guts of our blogs with all other users on the same them. Thus, your blog is exposed to the greatest security risk accepted by the stupidest person using that theme. This is a big risk, unless the most dangerous stuff is stripped out. So WordPress strips out the dangerous stuff like Flash and Javascript, which have taken down Myspace, Blogger, and Facebook in the past 18 months.
These are the restrictions. If you can’t live with them, and you can’t find a workaround that works, you will have to actually pay for what you want.
Remember: WordPress.com is a blogging site. It’s not meant to fill every website need.

And, honestly, you do not understand the differences between WordPress.com and Blogger. If you MUST embed javascript, then this was never the right choice for you and even the most cursory search in the forum would have told you that.

I never said I did. That’s why I’m here posting in the forums right?……..
So why would WordPress say “oh, you can make a fully functioning website” if one’s not actually able to make a fully functioning website? Damn corporations are a bunch of retards… I bet you the creators of WordPress don’t even know what their doing with it. There probably just flowing with it, with the “we’ll see what happens” attitude… if anything big goes down, atleast we have a huge ass pile of money to save us. Like… I just lost almost a year of my time, i’v lost money… i’v racked my brain for hours, thinking i can do something, and trying, and trying, and trying to do it… until finally I hear the words
“can’t do that here”
Fuck this shit. I hope everyone who reads this deletes there blog…
THERE IS NO POINT IN HAVING WORDPRESS.
get blogger, have one page with nothing but URLS to everything your doing and creating online.
P.S. RainCoaster… did you actually just call me stupid?? You realize, you suggested that I simply just link to my portfolio right… did you not notice that I already was? and that the way in which I link to it… doesn’t do anything different at all? It just looks better. Functionality is way more important than looks. I HOPE EVERYONE HERE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

Dude, have you considered that you may be overpersonalizing a response in a volunteer-run technical support forum? Why don’t you do that now?
-
wow, what an r-tard. Thanks for the support raincoaster. i skipped most of the moron-a-thon above and your concise replies gave me the info i was googling for. keep up the good work. you helped at least one person with your professionalism.

@raincoaster
I second that. You remained cool headed and professional whilst the other was OTT and rude. -
Blogger gives bloggers there something no other blogging platform gives their users: over 300 XHTML errors and over 80 warnings before they even make a post. That is what I call generous to a fault (heavy on the fault and read above with tone of sarcasm).

I still have my Blogger blog. I used it to do a comparison to wordpress.com and here are my results http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/blogger-sucks-wordpress-rocks/
