  Hello, and happy New Year!

  I am trying to resize a page (I copied and pasted the code from a doc) and obviously it doesn’t fit well into the page. We tried to resize the page width (from 728 to 500) but it didn’t do much.

  Thanks for your help!

  Here is the page:

  First Episode of “Nurturing the Spiritual Spelunker in All of Us”

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

  Hi!

  Could you clarify what you mean by “resize the page”? Are you trying to expand the page and remove the sidebar?

  Thanks, Jeremey,

  My need/question has changed and I modified the page, just adding a link. It makes everyone’s life easier.

  Instead I have another question: is it possible to insert a media player on the main page of my blog? (I was given the codes, btw).

  If so, how can I do that?

  Thanks for your response.

  Hi Gilles,

  Could you elaborate on what kind of media player you’re referring to? Is it a YouTube link, audio link, etc?

  Hello Jeremey,

  Yes, the media player is an audio link going to VoiceAmerica, an internet based radio station, so that people could listen to a show with a reader.

  They gave me the codes, and i would need to insert those, apparently on the main page of my blog.

  Hope that little bit helps.

  Hi Gilles,

  I’m betting those embed codes use an HTML tag that we strip from WordPress.com for security reasons:

  Add Code to Your Site

  For example, it might start with embed or script. If so, you won’t be able to use those codes to embed the audio player. The only methods for embedding audio into your page are laid out here:

  Thanks Jeremey,

  that is useful, and yes, the code I want to use is an <iframe> which WordPress doesn’t allow. From the paragraph below.

  I don’t believe I have any other question at this point. Thank you very much!

  Gilles

  If you are familiar with HTML, you’ll notice that codes such as embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea and others are missing from the above list. Those codes are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons.

  Thank you, Jeremey,

  In fact, after reloading the page with the player codes, I discovered that IT WORKS!

  So everyone’s happy, I believe.

  Have a nice weekend. Gilles
