Join me in a discussion
Following a reasonably successful Talkcast using TalkShoe, I invite you to come and join in with the conversation next week at 8pm GMT, 3pm EST Sunday 27th January
Check if this time works for you
We will be discussing Edublogs and web 2.0 tools

Many thanks to the patience of Patricia Donaghy from Ireland who joined me and helped iron out some of the operational issues, as we were both newcomers

Hi Mike
I had the same problem as you when trying to add the embed code to my existing edublog site. Thought it might be related to templates so created a new site and added the code, changed to my template and it worked perfectly!!!!
The only way I can get it working in my existing site is to copy and paste the kml code from a blog post into a text widget in the sidebar.

A bit messy but the workaround should solve your problem
