  I am trying to embed a sound slide into my site, http://www.theunknowproject.wordpress.com, but it takes it to a link to the sound slide rather than the sounslide itself.
  Can you help with this. The code is as follows and its on my site aswell.

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

  Copy this part only:
  <embed src="ETC ETC ETC"></embed>

  Turn it to this:
  [gigya src="ETC ETC ETC" ]

  Paste into HTML post or page editor.

  i replaced the word embed with gigya in the place suggested, and taken out the word embed at the end, but still no luck.
  I’m not sure I’m not doing as you asked, but can’t understand exactly what you mean.
  can you try to clarify for me please
  thanks

  If you needed to replace a word and delete another, I would have written so instead of “copy this part only” etc.

  This is what you need to paste in the HTML editor:
  [gigya src="http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~benreynolds/kulia%20publish_to_web/soundslider.swf?size=1&format=xml" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="620" height="533" menu="false" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" ]

  Refined alternative, just in case the above won’t work:
  [gigya src="http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~benreynolds/kulia%20publish_to_web/soundslider.swf" flashvars="size=1&format=xml" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="620" height="533" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" ]

  You need to use the square brackets too.

  i have tried both of the replacements quite a few times and they aren’t working. I’m sure I am doing it correct.

  Simply replacing
  <embed src=”http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~benreynolds/kulia%20publish_to_web/soundslider.swf?size=1&format=xml” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF” width=”620″ height=”533″ menu=”false” allowScriptAccess=”always” allowFullScreen=”true” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”>

  with

  [gigya src="http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~benreynolds/kulia%20publish_to_web/soundslider.swf?size=1&format=xml" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="620" height="533" menu="false" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" ]

  Are you putting it in the Visual editor or the HTML editor? Whatever you’re doing, try the other one.

  thanks, it has sort of worked when i used the visual instead of the html

  but now it has both the sound slide and the html visible on the website

  any more suggestions?

  To repeat, this is what you need to paste, in the HTML editor:
  [gigya src="http://www.members.iinet.net.au/~benreynolds/kulia%20publish_to_web/soundslider.swf?size=1&format=xml" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="620" height="533" menu="false" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" ]

  This, alone, without the rest of the original code.
