When embedding Flash objects such as flickr slideshows in posts on the free WordPress.com blogging platform, you may well run into difficulty. You grab the embed HTML code from the source site, paste the code into your post in WordPress, save your draft then—hang on a minute—where’s the embed code gone? The code gets stripped out.
I was stuck trying to embed this flickr slideshow a few weeks ago so I asked for help on Twitter. Josh R and Warren Pearce pointed me in the right direction, mentioning a workaround using Vodpod to convert the slideshow to video and then posting the video to WordPress.
After some further digging, I found a solution I quite liked within this post by Geeky Coder.
