    Muse Hick, there were a couple of suggestions in this area back when we were talking about the FreakAngels countdown widget. If none of that works, we'll see if Ariana has any further thoughts on the matter.

    i keep trying to add these widgets


    I found for LiveJournal that it worked best to hit the 'share' button on the bottom or the widget at Avatar's site, and copy the code that pops up to paste into a post myself.
    For some reason letting the widget send it itself got it there - but it was broken every time.

    Copy and paste made it work.

    Here's the c&p code for the widget -- you should just be able to put this where-ever you'd like it to show up:

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="175" height="261" id="spo_YAArEz6PBTDtnEb_2d"><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="movie" value="http://farm.sproutbuilder.com/4200/load/YAArEz6PBTDtnEb-.swf" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" name="spe_YAArEz6PBTDtnEb_2d" src="http://farm.sproutbuilder.com/4200/load/YAArEz6PBTDtnEb-.swf" width="175" height="261" wmode="transparent" align="middle" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" quality="high"></embed></object>

    @ Ariana

    copied that code into my text widget for wordpress and same problem as before -- it puts a box there but only the title turns up. you go back to the widget to try and see what it going on with the code and it has disappeared, won't stay in the box. i turned off the visual editor as was suggested in the other thread, but no dice. sorry, i feel like such a pain, but i'd really like to put it up on my site :D
    thanks for working so hard to help a numbskull out.

    No worries, Paul. Are you by any chance trying to add the code to a blog where you're _not_ an admin? (a shared blog where you've got writer/publisher access for instance) -- if you can't post unfiltered code (anything but admin, pretty much) wordpress will wipe anything with <object> or <embed>

    Edit: Oh, nevermind... you're on a wordpress.com blog. Not a hell of a lot to be done, then. Just like you can't change the actual php of your themes, wp.com cripples flash or javascript from all but a few, pre-selected sites.

    Okay. I haven't worked out how to get it in a wordpress.com sidebar, yet, but here's what you can c&p to get the widget in a blog post. I think. Maybe. (The brackets are necessary, just c&p the whole line):

    [vodpod id=ExternalVideo.548433&amp;w=175&amp;h=261&amp;fv=]

    Got it for sidebar, ish, sorta. As well as possible, at any rate. To add (button with) the widget to a wordpress.com sidebar, use the vodpod video widget. The pod name is aethericmechanics.vodpod.com. Jacked as all hell workaround, yeah, and it makes the sizing off, but it's there if you want it.

    I second the confirmation that the widget works on MySpace.

    We'll see how long it takes for them to try to break it.

    I also signed up for an account there and started building my own widget for the book i have pretty much finished -- should be out by the end of the week. So i should hopefully be more functional with the whole widget thing. Thanks for partially rewiring my brain into a sprout friendly shape.
