  Is there a setting to allow embed codes? I’ve tried to paste a “Real Estate Show” with embed code a couple of months ago – fail (still in Drafts).

  Today trying to paste another on a different blog – it still won’t work. Their tech support even tried for me – says code is correct?

  Can you help? TIA

  I don’t think embed will work here at wordpress.org, so the code is stripped.

  Nope. Embed codes are not permitted on WordPress.com for security purposes.

  What exactly are you looking to place on your blog? Perhaps we can provide an alternate solution.

  Thanks, boblets! That could answer that. I can also do it with this: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://www.realestateshows.com/js.php?showid=273341&width=480&height=385″></script>

  But it isn’t working either?

  No java allowed for security reasons.

  Just twittered how awesome you guys are (including Boblets!)

  At least I know its not allowed, and I can stop the tears of frustration. Thanks so much for your quick help!

  If you’re allowed to convert it to a YouTube or something on the approved formats, you can always put that in.

  Can I add flash? video? Embed other media?
