embedding a wix site into blogspot (or any other type of site)

Wix is great - of course! Embedding a wix file someplace else is even better! The photo gallery above was made with wix, using their photos. I just made a simple little page which is the post width of this site. However, you could get far more fancy and do some really great headers or side bar elements using wix and the custom HTML/Javascript widget here on blogspot.

Unless you have a premium wix site, you will of course have the wix preloader and their little logo on the side, however personally I find these completely appropriate and inoffensive for something which is after all free!

The embed code is given to you as you are publishing the site, shown in the image below:

And below is how the code will look. If you do not want all the social networking stuff which is located at the bottom of a regular wix site, simply remove the black highlighted bits:

<object width="513" height="310" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10.0.0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="base" value="http://static.wix.com"/><param name="movie" value="http://static.wix.com/client/app.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="FlashVars" value="pageId=xBcJA71T1Y8-a&embedFormat=websites&embedID=0b5fc474-1689-4d89-9a28-f51fb88064e7&partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a" /><param name="scale" value="noScale" /><param name="salign" value="tl" /><embed src="http://static.wix.com/client/app.swf" quality="high" allowNetworking="all" allowScriptAccess="always"  allowFullScreen="true" FlashVars="pageId=xBcJA71T1Y8-a&embedFormat=websites&embedID=0b5fc474-1689-4d89-9a28-f51fb88064e7&partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a" style="border: Xpx solid #yourhexcode;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="513" height="310" base="http://static.wix.com" scale="noscale" salign="tl" ></embed></object><br/><a href="http://www.wix.com"><b>Free website</b></a> - <a href="http://www.wix.com/create/website" ><b>Powered By Wix.com</b></a>

(Note: The border code from the previous post will work just as well with an object embedded from wix. In this case you place it before type="application/etc inside the embed tag like I am showing you above with the bit which is highlighted in red. For the wix file, which I embedded above, I used a 1 pixel border in a medium gray (#888888).

One thing to bear in mind is that if you want a border do not forget to size your output in wix accordingly before you import it to your blog/site. As an example, the post width on this site is 515 pixels, however I published the wix file at 513 pixels in order to accommodate the 1 pixel border around it).
