Well, since banago nudged me me here's the two questions I had about Wordpress so far.

1: How can I get my XBox Live gamercard to display properly. I knew, ewww, ick, but it fits one of the three themes of my blog, gaming. When I started out on blogger.com (for all of a week) I was able to put in an HTML block and use the Gamer card code.

[html] <iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" width="204" src="http://gamercard.xbox.com/greydmiyu.card" height="140">Greydmiyu</iframe> [/html]However in Wordpress when I put it in a text block which says it'll take HTML it saves it like this:


Greydmiyu</iframe>

Well, #2 is easily answered, it isn't allowed by Wordpress.com, which is fine. So, kinds, don't do it.

#1 is a pain, Google searches all point to either plugins/widgets which presume you're running WP on your own server or which point to http://www.mygamercard.net/ which is not reasonable. The whole point is that the gamer card updates as you do things in your games. mygamercard.net makes a static image. Well, heck, if I wanted a static image I'd take a screenshot, crop it down to my gamercard and host that! :(

Ignore me about mygamercard.net. It does update. Mea culpa! :(
