    Hi, I’m a brazilian and a new member of worpress comunity just because the Windows Live Co. want. Now, I just wish a little thing: add this simple gadget in a new post that i was write with Live Writer (there, the preview visualization shows that gadget workin’ perfectly, terrific) and the gadget just doesn’t work when i post. :(
    This is the code form the aBowman site:

    <object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” style=”outline:none;” data=”http://penguinsgadget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/penguins.swf?up_backgroundImage=http://&up_numPenguins=4&up_numBabies=2&up_backgroundColor=F2F2F2&up_penguinsName=Penguins&” width=”300″ height=”200″><param name=”movie” value=”http://penguinsgadget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/penguins.swf?up_backgroundImage=http://&up_numPenguins=4&up_numBabies=2&up_backgroundColor=F2F2F2&up_penguinsName=Penguins&”></param><param name=”AllowScriptAccess” value=”always”></param><param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”></param><param name=”scale” value=”noscale” /><param name=”salign” value=”tl” /></object>

    Please just tell me a simple and quickly tutorial with the exactly paterns in the code above, to do this word fine.

    Reply, please, even if it was just to say that my english is best then Joel Santana’s ex-coach of South Africa.

    That’s code for flash embeds, which we’re not allowed to use in wp.com blogs. You need to change it into a wp specific shortcode. Details here:
    http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/gigya-shortcode-3-widgets/

    In short, switch the post editor to HTML and paste this:

    [gigya src="http://penguinsgadget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/penguins.swf" flashvars="up_backgroundImage=http://&up_numPenguins=4&up_numBabies=2&up_backgroundColor=F2F2F2&up_penguinsName=Penguins&" width="300" height="200" wmode="opaque" ]

    Many shockwave flash widgets/gadgets can be embedded here using the gigya shortcode. Panos covers a bunch of different things here, http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/category/gigya/ , and tells how to use the code. For the one you want, paste the following into the HTML tab on your post.

    [gigya src="http://penguinsgadget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/penguins.swf"]

    Actually don’t paste the above code, use the code below. I forgot to enclose it in code tags.

    [gigya src="http://penguinsgadget.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/penguins.swf"]

    And there is Panos with the full code with all the bells and whistles. Use his code instead.

    Help you with what? The post you link to has the penguins you wanted, so there’s nothing else we can help with. If they take too long to load, then you have a slow connection; we can’t help with that either.
