Embedding sketchcasts
-
Not sure if this is the best place for this post, but here goes…
I had been trying to embed sketchcasts from sketchcast.com unsuccessfully. Searched the forums, searched the internet, no luck – plus sketchcast.com has zero support.
However I did find a proto-sketchcast website that shows you how to create sketchcasts using existing applications and uploading to Youtube, thus allowing you to embed that way. I posted a ten-step process at my blog:
-
Is it javascript code? Because javascript isn’t allowed at WordPress.com due to security reasons. Can you post the code so we can see what kind of code it is.

You’ll need to post the code between backticks (the key to the left of the 1 and above the tab key) so we can see it properly. But it looks like that has flash in it which we can’t embed for security reasons. If it’s a video you’re trying to embed, see if it’s on YouTube or Google Video instead; both of those are allowed on WordPress.

You could try putting it in a VodPod widget in your sidebar; that doesn’t put it in the posts, but it will support formats that WordPress.com won’t allow us to put in our blog posts, like that one.

From what I can see of the code above (.swf) it is shockwave flash, which is not allowed here at wordpress.com due to security concerns.
