  I am having a bear of a time embedding a new iframe into a page.

  this is the code I’ve been directed to put it. I’ve tried imputing it in numerous ways to no avail. Does anyone see something that could explain this?

  <iframe src=”http://magicseaweed.com/Ocean-City-MD-Surf-Report/395/Embed/” width=”940″ height=”600″ frameborder=”0″></iframe>

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

  Hi there. Some code, such as javascript or iframes, cannot be inserted due to security concerns in the shared environment of WordPress.com You can learn more at the following support article:

  Ok thanks for the quick response. I was under the impression that iframes were allowed on WordPress. That’s too bad.

  Unfortunately, some nasty hacks can be done with iframes. I would check with the provider of the iframe code to see if they have any code they can provide you that doesn’t use iframes or javascript (for instance, they might be able to condense some content into an image).

  You could also add a link in your menu to a page on their site with the content.
