  I recently began using Exposure.co, a photo storytelling site. There is an embed option in which you are supposed to copy the embed code and post it to any site. For some reason, I am not able to get it to work on WordPress.

  Every time I post this:

  <iframe src=”https://snipedog64.exposure.co/lowell-in-grayscale?embed=true” style=”width:840px;height:900px;margin-bottom:5px;border:solid 1px #ccc;border-radius:2px;”>
  LOWELL IN GRAYSCALE by Steve Daly on Exposure

  all it does is appear as a hyperlink in the preview instead of creating “an iframe on your site that displays the story, embedded from Exposure.”

  If I’m not mistake, I believe there was an HTML tab in the “new post” area.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

  Hi,

  for security reasons you cannot use iFrames. However, certain types of <iframes>, such as Google Calendar, are automatically converted by WordPress.com into codes that do work here.
  If you really need an iFrame on your site, you can consider hosting your own WordPress site, over which you will have full control.

  Or use Blogger/Tumblr that allow it. I’m considering moving my blog.
