Embedding Mixbook on EduBlogs

Today I got a request from Paul that he would like to embed his Mixbook on his Edublog. Here is Paul’s Mixbook, embedded in my Edublog!

In order to achieve this, you have to follow these three steps:

1. Navigate to your Mixbook’s page. Paul’s is http://www.mixbook.com/books?bid=220480.
2. In the “Share” section, click on the “Code” tab, and select “MySpace Code”. Paul’s MySpace code is:

   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/476abda21237f37b/47bf6c226629813e/476abda21237f37b/2fb1b3a4" id="W476abda21237f37b47bf6c226629813e" height="404" width="384">
   <param value="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/476abda21237f37b/47bf6c226629813e/476abda21237f37b/2fb1b3a4" name="movie"/>
   <param value="transparent" name="wmode">
   <param value="all" name="allowNetworking">
   <param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess">
   <embed name="Mixbook Albums Player" id="W476abda21237f37b47bf6c226629813e" width=”384″ height=”404″ src=”http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/476abda21237f37b/47bf6c226629813e/476abda21237f37b/2fb1b3a4” allowScriptAccess=”always” quality=”high” wmode=”transparent” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=”http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” />
   </object>

3. From this embed code, you can get the source of the flash movie file from Mixbook:

   src=”http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/476abda21237f37b/47bf6c226629813e/476abda21237f37b/2fb1b3a4″

4. You can use the following code to embed your Mixbook on your EduBlog:

   So the actual code would be:

And there you have it: a Mixbook on your EduBlog! By the way, we love to hear about your uses of Mixbook on Edublog. If you ever have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please email feedback@mixbook.com.

Mixbooking in Class,
