  I paste the content from buzzsprout, to embed a podcast in my page, and hit update to my wordpress page, but the code that I’ve put in doesn’t save, it just disappears when I hit update. What am I doing wrong?

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

  I don’t know anything about buzzsprout, but does the code for embedding the podcast use javascript or flash? That kind of code isn’t allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons, so it is automatically stripped out: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  You will want to see if there is an option to grab a WordPress shortcode for embedding. Sorry I can’t be more specific, but I don’t know what buzzsprout offers for options in that sense.

  You can try the Gigya Shortcode if it’s a flash code: http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/category/gigya/
