Although i'm not an employee of YoWindow ( 8-) ) i tried some things and succeeded at last (explanation below the screenshot):
testblog on blog.com (http://testyowindow.blog.com/)
testblog on blog.com (http://testyowindow.blog.com/)
YoWindow - Blog.com width YoWindow-widget other than New York 80.jpg (119.57 KiB) Viewed 7542 times
The screenshot is from a testblog (http://testyowindow.blog.com/) i startet before.
In the admin section i navigate to "Appearance" -> "Widgets" and choose the "Text/HTML" widget.
In the editor field i paste the code YoWindow produces for me.
Next i clicked on the "Done"-button.

(Now, if would click on "Save Changes", the blog.com system would delete all "value"-strings from the flash-objects "param"-tags (so the widget would display the default-city New York. -> so DON'T DO THIS!)

Instead of immediately clicking "Save Changes" after pasting the code to the editor and clicking on "Done" you have to edit the code a little bit:
remove the slashes ("/") at the end of the "param"-tags, then click on "Done" and then on "Save Changes".

That's the way i get YoWindow working on my blog on Blog.com.

If you try the same please give us a short notice if this is working for you too - thank you!

Wow!
Are you a knife collector?

And these Kyzlyar knives, are they so known and valueable in Austria?

To be a real knife collector i don't have enough money :(
But i'm fascinated by the craftsmanship.

I had to learn that hand-made knifes can cost from 300, 400 € upwards (some above 1000 €) depending on the used steal and material for the handle.

Kyzlyar knifes are well known in the biggest german knife-forum i'm reading.
Besides other knife-makers around europe (and the world) Kyzlyar knifes are appreciated for being really good manufactured and at reasonable prices. Worth every cent you have to pay.
