Embedding objects in Blogsome
Ever needed to post some YouTube videos or perhaps an IMEEM playlist in your Blogsome account? The problem is, you just can’t do it, for the reason that Blogsome unintentionally do not allow embedding of objects in your posts. Actually, this problem is not due to Blogsome’s restrictions. It just so happened that the WordPress Editor used as a plugin does not support embedding of objects. Which means, the editor would only allow tags which are recognized by it. In order to eliminate unintentional restrictions, all you have to do is to Deactivate your Blogsome account’s WYSIWYG Editor Plugin. It’s just that, you won’t be able to type your post the way to do it before. But since I’m here to guide you all the way how to do it much more effectively, here’s how:
- First, with your WYSIWYG Editor still Activated (FYI: WYSIWYG Editor is activated by default), encode first everything you needed to appear in the post. I’m talking about the content of the post, so if ever you won’t need any text to appear in your article, then you can skip this step. After typing the necessary contents, then save your post as draft.
- In your Blogsome admin, go to Plugins, then choose to Deactivate WSYI-Wordpress plugin.
- Go back to your saved draft. As you notice, you won’t be able to edit your post the way you usually do it. If you are not familiar with HTML codes, then you only have to insert the code of your Embedded Object (code provided by YouTube or IMEEM), at the end of the post. By doing so, this would prevent mixing up the codes. But if you’re a bit knowledgable with HTML, then you can choose to insert in anywhere as long as you know what you are doing.
- Now press Publish then presto! Your object will already appear by next time you view your post.
- Finally, if you need to bring back your old editor, then just go to Plugins again, then activate WYSI-Wordpress plugin.
