Help with WordPress Private Blog

    Hi there,

    We have a couple of questions regarding our wordpress site
    1) We are having trouble installing plug ins on the site

    2) We have 48 people to sign up, is there an easier way to sign all these people up or is the only way through making an account and clicking the accept link in the email?

    3) We are having trouble installing the yammer embed codes, they don’t seem to install correctly and do not show the feed.

    4) Is there an easy way to get a bookmark onto peoples tablets/iphones/pc’s that link straight to the blog?

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

    1) We are having trouble installing plug ins on the site

    While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

    Plugins

    However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/

    What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?

    Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    2) We have 48 people to sign up, is there an easier way to sign all these people up or is the only way through making an account and clicking the accept link in the email?

    For a private WordPress.com blog, there is no way around that process.

    Can you copy/paste the code you are trying to use into a reply here? Click the “code” button, paste your code into the reply box, then click “code” again.

    4) Is there an easy way to get a bookmark onto peoples tablets/iphones/pc’s that link straight to the blog?

    I’m not 100% sure what you are asking. Are you aiming to make an icon that would live on their phone’s app list but would be a link to your blog? Like this:

    Thank you for your responses!

    3) this is the code we are using for our yammer feed

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://c64.assets-yammer.com/assets/platform_embed.js"></script>
    <div id="embedded-feed" style="height:400px;width:500px;"></div>
    <script>
        yam.connect.embedFeed(
          { container: '#embedded-feed',
            network: 'bdo.com.au'  // network permalink
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

    You can’t use Javascript on a WordPress.com blog. You can use an RSS widget to display an RSS feed.

    As Raincoaster notes, that embed code will not work because we do not allow certain tags on WordPress.com for security reasons, including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags. These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code.
