  I have a short video (podcast) I want to put on my blog. When I copy/paste the code (provided by the host site) into the “compose” window, it simply disappears when I hit “Save” as if I haven’t done it. When I paste this in any of the fields in the “add media” pop-ups (I’ve tried both audio and video), it also disappears. Advice?

  The code is:
  <iframe src=’http://media.barnesandnoble.com/linking/index.jsp?skin=oneclip&fr_story=b324699c5abc543e03c151ef929ff038c6291610&rf=ev&hl=true’ width=413 height=355 scrolling=’no’ frameborder=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0></iframe>

  Thanks,
  Susan

  iframes, javascript, flash and forms are not allowed here due to security concerns.

  You might be able to use the vodpod button to put it into your blog but I don’t know for sure.

  Mystery solved! Thanks. Bummer about the code, though.
  Bon weekend,
