  I want to embed a widget from blurb.com called bookshow. The website gives a url/code and says to paste it into a blog post. No other explanation? It just appears like a url when I preview/publish.

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

  We have code restrictions for security reasons on WordPress blogs.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#flash-and-other-embeds

  Without being able to examine the actual code I cannot help you. Please post it here between code tags.

  It says if using wordpress.com hosted should just be able to use the url http://www.blurb.co.uk/books/5989872-delusions-of-reference.

  It also gives the code for embedding

  <div style=”text-align:left; width:450px”><object id=”myWidget” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://www.blurb.co.uk/assets/embed.swf” width=”450″ height=”300″><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”></param><param name=”allowScriptAccess” value=”always”></param><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.blurb.co.uk/assets/embed.swf”></param><param name=”FlashVars” value=”book_id=5989872&locale=en_US” /><img src=”http://bookshow.blurb.com/bookshow/cache/P9914101/md/wcover_2.png”></img></object><div style=”display:block;”>Delusions of Reference by Megan McHugh | Make Your Own Book</div></div>

  Thanks for your help
