  I’m trying to put a google map in a post and I’ve followed the instructions in the FAQ section but I am getting an error message.

  Can we have a link to your wordpress.COM blog? And consider linking it in your user name as explained in the sticky at the top of the forum.

  What error message are you getting?

  Here’s the link to the draft I was working on

  http://thebealworld.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=692&message=4
  the blog is http://www.thebealworld.com and my username is: thebeals

  The error message says Google Error Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL from this server (Client IP address: 76.188.165.38)

  Thanks for the link to your blog. (FYI – there is no www in your blog address.)

  Volunteers in the forum can’t get to your draft posts. So we need to try to figure out what’s wrong. You said you were using the FAQ – I assume you mean this one http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/using-google-maps/

  Can you post the embed code here between backticks (the key to the left of the #1 on your keyboard) so that we can see it?

  I just copied and pasted that information into a test post and it showed up fine http://vjptestblog2.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/google-maps-test/ I pasted it into the visual editor and it properly converted it to the format.

  What steps are you using to paste the code in?
