Embed giveaway into blog post?
-
I do a lot of product reviews with giveaways. I know I can’t embed a rafflecopter giveaway into a post. What giveaway tool can I use that will allow me to embed it right into the post? Now I add a hyperlink which will bring the giveaway entrant to a new page to enter. I see so many blog giveaways right in the post. Much simpler for the entrants. And why can’t we embed raffle copter? Is that in the works so in the future we’ll have that capability? I’m holding off to upgrade to the paid version until I know if/how to embed a giveaway in a post. I want this capability with whatever blog platform I finalize on. Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Blogs hosted on WordPress.com cannot use Rafflecopter as it’s a Javscript widget and Javascript is stripped out by our software to preserve security on this multiuser blogging platform. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ I don’t know of any widgets that do what you want to do that we can use.
Plugins are for WordPress.org installs only. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot intsall plugins, upload third-party themes or edit templates or themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

There is no upgrade involved here. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
Yes you can use Rafflecopter on a WordPress.org install.
Your hire a web host. http://wordpress.org/hosting/
You set up a WordPress.org install. http://wordpress.org/
You move your blog content into it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ -
Hi Beckie–can you tell me what you’re currently using to run giveaways? I am trying to set up my first giveaway on wordpress.com and have searched for a tool with no luck. Thanks!
