  Hi…

  The blog I am building is for a band. And we have all the tour dates database on sonicbids. The website allows you to embed the calendar and I would like to do so on our page but every time I publish it the code disappears?

  here is the coding for the calendar that I type into the HTML portion of the post.

  <iframe name=”ifmCalendar” id=”ifmCalendar” frameborder=”no” src=”http://www.sonicbids.com/epk/calendar_view.asp?epk_id=201193&dates_to_show=” width=”480″ height=”500″></iframe>

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

  HTML is not allowed on wordpress.com

  Javascript, and custom CSS are also not allowed.

  Because only some tags are allowed.

  WordPress.com is a type of shared environment, where all users are running off of the same software. To preserve security iframes, embeds, flash and javascript are stripped out by the software. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  t’s NOT possible in the conventional sense as iframes cannot be embedded into wordpress.com blogs due to the security risk. However, there is a work around that wordpress.COM bloggers can use.

  What dreamsburred meant to say was ONLY plain HTML code is allowed. Iframes, javascript, flash and custom CSS are not allowed (except with the CSS upgrade, in which case you can use custom CSS on existing themes, but still not iframes, flash, or javascript).

  You can generally tell if the kind of code you want is allowed by whether or not it’s stripped out when you try to post it. In other words, you can attempt anything. If it works, great.
