  I made a picture which used an image map to link different areas to different sites. However, although the codes works in my browser, when saved in WordPress it vanishes, presumably because it does not accept some of the code. Is there any way of preventing this?
  My blog is http://odetojsmith.wordpress.com/ and the code used is:

  <img src=”http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb108/Placid_Carrot/ode%20blog/bigpic1.png” usemap=”#buttons” border=”0″>
  <map name=”buttons”>
  <area shape=”rect” coords=”366,429,430,452″ alt=”iTunes” href=”http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/”>
  <area shape=”rect” coords=”364,460,429,477″ alt=”HMV” href=”http://www.hmv.co.uk/”>
  <area shape=”rect” coords=”364,487,421,502″ alt=”7 Digital” href=”http://www.7digital.com/”>
  </map>

  Thanks in advance for helping :)

  That code is not going to work on WordPress.com. Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any way of doing this other than breaking the image up like a jigsaw puzzle and putting it in a table, linking parts of it to other pages.

  OK, thanks for the advice. That’s a pity.

  If it’s worth saying so, I’m trying to do the same thing. That’s really a bummer that images maps don’t fly. They’ve been around long enough! What’s the problem wordpress?
