Need help sorting out how to use 23? Or have you discovered one of those nasty bugs?

Wordpres dot com and hq23

claudecf   December 14, 2009, 10:32 AM

I have just purchased a plus account and would like to add photos to my wordpressdotcom sidebar.
The widget hq23 is suggesting won't work there, only in self-hosted wordpress blogs, as wordpressdotcom doesn't accept anything with javascript, iframe or embed.
Any idea how to do this?

Darn! Once more I was too hasty and can't edit the title of the conversation only the body of the message. I meant wordpress of course and not "Wordpres"

You could simply use the Flickr widget form wordpress.com and use http://www.23hq.com/rss/claudecf (or whatever) and the rss url.

it works, except for the fact that the link to more photos links to an RSS feed

A couple of days ago, the flickr widget that I used with the rss feed from my 23 account started occupying half the page on wordpress dot com, being as large as the column where my photos appear. I have removed it, since it spoils the blog rather than showing my photos. I don't know if it's something you guys have changed or that wordpressdotcom have changed.
Any suggestion for another solution?

Did you ask the nice people at wordpress.com if they changed anything on their end?

I just posted in the forums but don't expect much help, since after all it IS a flickr widget and not a 23hq.com widget.
Here's a link to the question

Hm, the link to the forums seem broken.
Can you give me a link to a page where I can see the problem? Are you allowed to change the CSS/stylesheet on wordpress.com?

 
claudecf   February 12, 2010, 05:05 PM

I reactivated the widget.
Any page from my blog http://photoblogginginparis.com shows humongous photos from 23hq
The question on the wordpress.com forums is two or three questions down here

And yes I can change the css to some extent

Incidentally, I tried to use the flickr widget to show flickr photos and then, it does show thumbnails, which is why I reported here and not at wordpress originally.

Can you add this line to your CSS and see if it does the trick?

#flickr_badge_wrapper img {width:100px;}

(you can alter the width to fit your design)

Thanks so much, Steffen, you saved my day again! *claps, dances and smiles*

 
Steffen Tiedemann Christensen Team 23   February 12, 2010, 05:52 PM

No problem -- I love easy solutions like this one ;-)

 
claudecf   February 12, 2010, 05:58 PM

It was easy for you, not so easy for me LOL
Now if I hadn't paid for CSS, I would've been in a fix... You should think of a solution for that, he he!

 
claudecf   August 06, 2010, 09:55 AM

Well, it seems that I am back where this thread started... I haven't changed anything since the last time we exchanged. I think I'll give up on showing my 23 photos on my blog :(

 
claudecf   August 06, 2010, 10:03 AM

Sorry! Just remembered that I hadn't renewed my css option, which is why everything went crazy. It's all fixed!
