  How do I do stage 1 of this i can’t find where to upload plugins

  This plugin is for WordPress 2.1 and higher which simplifies the embedding of [Issuu](http://issuu.com) publications in blog posts. Simply copy the WordPress embed code provided by Issuu and paste it into your post.

  == Installation ==

  Here’s how to install the plugin and how to make it work.

  1. Upload the wp-issuu.php file to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
  3. Copy WordPress embed code from Issuu.com and paste it to your post: [issuu documentid=XXX width=400 height=350 ... ].

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

  You are in the wrong forum. This forum is for blogs hosted on wordpress.COM. You need to ask here: http://wordpress.org/support/

  @tonypritchard,

  In that case, you can’t add plug-ins.
  wordpress.COM is not the same as
  wordpress.ORG

  Read this to learn about the differences:

  is there any way to embed an issuu document into a post (like a video) other than purely with a link?

  Lots of people wonder the same thing. There doesn’t seem to be a solution:

  I use issuu almost daily on my site. I wish we were able to embed the issuu code.
  I link the issuu location of my pdf to a picture.
  An example: http://rchsbowman.wordpress.com/2009/10/29/act-preparing-for-the-act-20092010/
  When my students click on the picture, another window opens with the issuu file. Its not the way I want, but I like wordpress.com and am willing to work around their limitations.

  Regards,

  In the past, vodpod might have worked, but it is limited only to videos.

  Perhaps WordPress will introduce a similar work-around in future. It’s extremely unlikely they will allow flash directly.
