  I would like to embed activities such as the one shown at this URL:

  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/87956622
  Blog url: http://rundoughboyrun.wordpress.com/

  Unfortunately, that would not be possible.

  Is there nothing in the works to allow users to embed this kind of content in their blogs? I would imagine I’m not the first (and won’t be the last) to ask for this.

  Unfortunately, for security reasons, we have to strip out flash, javascript and iframes from any embedded code.

  Considering the size and complexity of the activity page though, I would advise linking it from your blog.

  Thanks for your response. I understand the security concerns – I was just wondering if anything could be worked out, similar to how WordPress users are able to embed youtube videos. Thanks again for your help.
