Changing the landscape on the YoWindow widget

[Westfield]

Hi I'm a bit of an amateur. Sorry if this is been asked before, I couldn't find an answer if it has.

Is it possible to change the landscape on the widget for wordpress.com blogs? If so how would I do this?

I already have the picture ready. How do I go about inserting this into the widget?

Any help appreciated thanks.

My blog is http://hinckleycarboot.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the fast reply, appreciated. When I said I was a bit of an amateur, I really meant that I'm a complete novice. I had a look at the link you provided and couldn't work out what to do.

My wordpress.com blog doesn't allow me to upload .swf files. Is there a way around this?

This is the code I got by going through this process - http://yowindow.com/widget_wordpress.php

Code: Select all

<div style="line-height:0;">[gigya src="http://swf.yowindow.com/yowidget3.swf" width="220" height="150" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" bgcolor ="#FFFFFF" flashvars="location_id=gn:2646867&location_name=Hinckley,%20United%20Kingdom&time_format=12&unit_system=uk&background=#FFFFFF&copyright_bar=false"]<div style="width:220px;font-size:12px;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="float:left;"><a target="_top" href="http://WeatherScreenSaver.com?client=widget&link=copyright" style="color:#2fa900;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;" title="Weather gadget">ScreenSaver</a></span><span style="float:right;color:#888888;"><a href="http://yr.no" style="color:#2fa900;text-decoration:none;">yr.no</a></span></div></div>

Any help appreciated, thanks.

As I can't upload .swf files with wordpress.com is it possible to hotlink an image?

Would it be possible to place this image within the widget? http://westfield.opendrive.com/files/Nl ... ichink.swf

If so how?

Thanks

Why do you think it would be necessary to upload an .swf-file?
You can use your own landscape as a .png-file in the same way you use it on the desktop version! Upload the .ywl and the .png file into the same folder and put the exact path in the html code.

Code: Select all

Here an example: landscape=http://protezionecivilegrassano.cluhost.info/public_htm/wp-content/yowidget/landscapes/grassano/Grassano5.ywl&

That's all

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm pretty sure that's not possible on wordpress.com blogs. I was hoping there was a way round this by hotlinking
