Blog embed problems with Google CustomRSS Gadget

[showie]

Hi,
I'm trying to embed a blog on my Web Designer page and had hoped it would be as simple as embedding the Google Gadget code into a placeholder object. When I do, however, I get at least three script errors (which don't happen on a blank page with the embedded script) and no scrollbar on the right side. Has anyone successfully embedded RSS/Blog text into their WebDesigner site? Please let me know how.

The embedded code is as follows:

<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://customrss.googlepages.com/customrss.xml&amp;up_rssurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswhowie.wordpress.com%2Fcategory%2Ftechnology%2Ffeed%2F&amp;up_title=DaSH%20Blog&amp;up_titleurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswhowie.wordpress.com&amp;up_num_entries=15&amp;up_linkaction=showdescription&amp;up_background=EEEEEE&amp;up_border=CCCCCC&amp;up_round=1&amp;up_fontfamily=Arial&amp;up_fontsize=12px&amp;up_openfontsize=9pt&amp;up_itempadding=5px&amp;up_bullet=bull&amp;up_custicon=Overrides%20favicon.ico&amp;up_boxicon=0&amp;up_opacity=20&amp;up_itemlinkcolor=000000&amp;up_itemlinkweight=Normal&amp;up_itemlinkdecoration=None&amp;up_vlinkcolor=C7CFA8&amp;up_vlinkweight=Normal&amp;up_vlinkdecoration=None&amp;up_showdate=1&amp;up_datecolor=9F9F9F&amp;up_tcolor=1C57A9&amp;up_thighlight=FFF19D&amp;up_desclinkcolor=1B5790&amp;up_color=000000&amp;up_dback=FFFFFF&amp;up_dborder=DFCE6F&amp;up_desclinkweight=Bold&amp;up_desclinkdecoration=None&amp;synd=open&amp;w=364&amp;h=168&amp;title=DaSH+Technology+Blog&amp;border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&amp;output=js"></script>

Thanks in advance!

I tried pasting the script into a text file in NetObjects Fusion and it comes up incomplete. There is a text entry window and a google gadget button but nothing else that would allow me to interact.

I wonder if you should try another gadget or just create a Blogspot (Google) blog and link to it from your website.

Hi Showie,

I too couldn't get your script to work - but I found another RSS gadget that works nicely for multiple feeds in a tabbed window.

See it here

Thanks, sledger. Will that embed in a Web Designer page? I'm not sure how to get the code for it...

[showie]

sledger, I see a reference to rss.htm, but I don't see the page anywhere. Is that a sample page? Sorry, I think I'm missing something here as I see only the rss.xar file.

Thanks

Ooops

Sorry about that.

Paste this into a text file and rename it rss.htm.
Open the rss.xar, export to html and then place the rss.htm into the root folder along with index.htm.

This by the way is your Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS) feed each under their own tab and working fine *online* (IE will give errors when run locally).
