I was also playing around with CDFs. I created a couple of tutorials
with this format and tried to embed them in my website. I only tested
with Firefox under Windows7 (Linux does not seems to have a browser
plugin yet) but it seems to work.

Has anyone tried having a CDF on a Blogger blog?

I found a way of publishing CDF on Blogger blog by scavenging the source of
the Wolfram blog post at
http://blog.wolfram.com/2011/07/15/mathematica-qa-creating-movie-files. If
the 2 pieces of HTML that I quote below have become damaged in this post,
then they can easily be found in the Wolfram blog post.

STEP 1:

In Blogger go to Dashboard / <blogname> / Settings / Design / Edit HTML /
Insert the following code between <head> and "</head>" (this needs to be
done only once):

STEP 2:

Create your new blogger post with everything except the CDF content.

STEP 3:

In Blogger select Edit HTML, and then insert the following code into the
body of your post where you want a CDF to appear (this is an exact copy of
some code from the Wolfram blog post above - no doubt this could be pruned
as necessary):

<div class="WriCDF">
<div style="margin: 0px auto; width: 450px;">
<div id="A0a80e4147b724017e6b37e1ab7e8f9c5" style="background-color:
#e8e8e8; border: 1px solid rgb(160, 160, 160); color: #333333; height:
300px; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: center; width: 450px;">
<noscript><br /> <p style="margin: 0; padding: 10px 10px
0">To view the full content of this page, please enable JavaScript in
your browser. <br /> Learn more <a

</noscript>

<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 10px;">
To view this content, please install <em>Wolfram CDF Player</em>. You can
install the free <em>CDF Player</em> <a
href="http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/download-cdf-player.html"
title="Wolfram CDF Player">here</a>.</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cdf = new cdf_plugin();
cdf.addCDFObject("A0a80e4147b724017e6b37e1ab7e8f9c5",
"http://blog.wolfram.com/data/uploads/2011/07/Animation11.cdf", 450, 300);
</script></div>

Finally, publish your post.

You can see the result of this feasibility test at
http://stephenluttrell.blogspot.com/2011/07/embedding-computable-document-in.html.

To publish your own CDF, I presume that all you need to change is the
"http://blog.wolfram.com/data/uploads/2011/07/Animation11.cdf" to point to
wherever your own CDF is located.

Good luck!

Thank you very much, and I want to try it out, but I still have one
(clearly stupid) question:

The CDF file itself that you wish to embed in your blogpost has been
stored somewhere OTHER than at a Google site, e.g.
http://blog.wolfram.com/data/uploads/2011/07/Animation11.cdf

If I wanted to store a CDF somewhere within Google space, so that it
would be available to embed into a blogpost, where should it go? I was
trying to put it into Google Docs, but that doesn't seem to work. That
is, I want to have the "cdf.addNewObject" line of code point to a web
address in the Google domain, presumably a place where I can actually
store something. Thoughts? Anyone?

Thanks,
Mike
