  wikimapia.org provides html text that can be pasted into a blog and, ideally, a specified satelite photo will appear. However, the text they offer doesn’t seem to work in wordpress blogs. any idea how we can get this to work?

  Please provide the link to the service you are requesting so sysadmin can check into it. Hopefully it doesn’t use frames or javascript because if it does the anwser will be “no” for security reasons. It’s also a good idea to describe why you want this service and how you intend to use it.

  It uses iframes, and those are stripped from HTML here if I recall correctly. I don’t think it will work.

  If it uses i-frames it’s a “no go” for wordpress.com. The html that can be used here is listed in the FAQs http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/allowed-html-tags/ However, if harryalvers feels it’s essential for him to have this as a blog feature he can self host or hire a webhost to download a blog theme. Information about self hosting and web hosting is at http://wordpress.org/hosting
