@Jackie Remis Spammers, who create lots of blogs to promote products, were using the JavaScript for redirects on free blogs. ‘No’ other blog hosts allows embedding like we have done so far and we’ve been forced to limit it due to this abuse by spammers. This is why embedding of Vokis are no longer working.

The key is we still want our users to have this ability but we had to provide it in such a way that the sploggers can’t use it.

The only solution was to link it to Edublogs Pro and Campus like we had to do with XML-RPC.

So what we have done is an Edublogs Pro is automatically able to embed all code including Voicethreads, Teachertube and is able to upgrade up to 50 blogs other blogs so that the 50 other blogs can also embed code, access premium themes and their ads are disabled.

I want to add a VOKI to my edublog. I can’t get it to work. I followed your steps but when i click back to home page there are only the html.

Do I need a pro blog to use a voki

@cmalbeuf, the username you have listed here isn’t attached to any blogs – it is just a username. If you give me some of your blog URLs I will locate them for you.

All of my blogs are gone.
Just plain flat out gone.

@Mr. Miller, I assume you mean the image width? If so you need to resize the images before uploading.

Most blogs can cope with 450 pixels wide but others can cope with wider and some need narrower. I cheat by quickly taking a screenshot of a post and checking the width. But you need to be careful because if your theme is really narrow or wide and you focus on images for that width it makes it harder to change to a new theme later.

So far I really like your changes! One question…

When I did a makeover, I found that the margins in some of my previous posts did not fit in the space. How do I make sure that the margins in new posts don’t exceed the space available? Thanks!

@Candace Townsley, you need to add those using the Text widgets. I recommend you read through the section on this page about widgets especially check out the example of adding ClustrMaps using a Text widget.

I’ve figured out how to do the plugins to get the Widgets. Now I’m having difficulty adding badges-like the newbie badge and the web 2.0 ning badge etc.
THANKS!

I’ve read and re-read and I’m having a difficult time installing widgets for which there is not a drag and drop icon. It seems as though all of the icons are pre-determined and there are no “generics” where we can add Twitter, Voki etc. Maybe I’m over looking it – but the instructions show a “PRESENTATION” button for adding the Clustermaps widget. I can’t seem to find that button. I was also wanting to add the NECC Newbie badge – but don’t know how. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Sincerely,
Candace Townsley
