How to Embed Almost Anything in your Website
I had an excellent website link passed on to me by our colleague @ipcjones via Twitter the other day. It tells you how to embed stuff into your blog, Moodle or other web page (that means to add extra, or external stuff into your blog or other web page – if you have a look at the end of this post you’ll see my delicious links which I have “embedded” into this post. )
The guide is pretty simple to follow and they reckon they can help you to:
“Learn how to embed almost anything in your HTML web pages from Flash videos to Spreadsheets to high resolution photographs to static images from Google Maps and more. “
http://www.labnol.org/internet/how-to-embed-in-html-webpages/6365/
I had a quick browse through the page, it looks excellent! Well worth a look for all those of us who were thinking about adding Twitter, Delicious, mp3′s or other content to a blog page.
Here’s an example of “embedding” my favourite web links from delicious:
Have fun adding or rather “embedding” stuff into your blogs!
Best,
Seth

Hi there Oriel,
You’ll need to get the html code from your delicious account to do that.
Under your account settings, find tag rolls. Or go straight to this tag rolls page. Fiddle with the settings, then copy the embed code from the bottom into a post, using the “Edit HTML” tab.
Let me know how you get on!
Seth

Hi there Chris,
Thanks for the comment, it’s nice to know that th ideas here are sometimes helpful.
I use Vista at the moment (I know, I know.. it really is as bad as they say) so I don’t know much at all about Macs I’m afraid. From the sound of it though you might be having a Javascript problem (the delicious tag roll uses Javascript.) Have you tried going to a Java test page to see if you have an up to date version installed and that it’s running properly? If you do have it installed, are your security settings blocking it from working properly?
Let me know how you get on and good luck!
Best,
Seth.
