You need a FREE Blogger account. You create a post, paste your iframe into that post. You'll see an interface on the right side where you can add labels to your post. Add one that is specifically for that post.
For instance, if I was embedding my Google Map iframe, which you get from your map, just click that little chain icon to get the iframe link. Once you've pasted it into your blogger post, add a label for this specific post. For this instance, maybe "googlemap."
Using that RSS code I wrote about up top, just swap out your Blogger page name. Mine's LutzR2. At the end put your label for the post you want the feed to come from.
Hit DONE, and hit publish.
Wanted to post an update to this and ask for clarification. I have a Blogger account already, but when I use it to create a new page there's a problem. It posts my Blog info in my Contact Form. I definitely don't want that because my blog isn't a photo blog.
Does this mean creating a whole new Blogger account? Which would mean creating a whole new Gmail address?
Thanks again for the help!
"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you?"
Here it is. But I don't want my Blog showing up on the form. That's the part in the upper right which says "About Me". My blog doesn't deal specifically with photography, and even though I created a separate blog within Blogger, it's still showing my original blog because it's going by my email address and linking my Blog into the form.

the 'about me' section shouldn't show up in the feed. same as on mine the sections on the right don't get imported to my smugmug page. I'd show you but I haven't quite unveiled yet. Do you have a page on your smug site with the feed on it?
That link is to Blogger. If you create a custom label for that form, and use the code at the top of the thread, just the form post should show on the feed you place on a page located on your Smugmug site.
On my page, on SM, all I have is the actual post showing. Nothing else.

Also not clear on a couple of things still:
1. Which link do you mean?
2. Custom label for the form. The form on Wufoo, or the page I created from that form on Blogger? And what is a custom label?
3. And are you referring to the code that was posted at the beginning of THIS thread?
I apologize for not understanding, but I know nothing about coding of any kind. This is like a foreign language to me.
I'm not certain that you're both telling me the same thing. Are you?
"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you?"
Short version (sorry on mobile) is that it's a box in a box in a box.
You embed wufoo onto blogger. Then you embed blogger onto smugmug using the "feed" box. This strips out everything but the wufoo box so no blog title or about me showing

Thanks, Paul. I think I'm not figuring out how to embed from Wufoo to SM, because of the whole piece about creating a custom label. Also, on the Wufoo form manager, what is it exactly I'm copying and pasting to Blogger? I don't know how to create a custom label. So I don't have a successful link to the Wufoo form I put on Blogger.
Also, it seems that there is some confusion as to whether or not what is created in Blogger is a PAGE or a POST on the blog. I'm getting two different messages there, from you and Darter. Or am I also misunderstanding that as well?
"Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you?"
On Blogger you make a POST of you iframe, and any other content you want to appear on Smugmug. You then create a custom label for just THAT post.
Here's where you create special labels.
On Smugmug, you create a PAGE, and place a Feedblock into it, and use the URL (replacing the red YOUR-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH with your Blogger ID & Label). Publish your changes and you should see the iframe appearing on your smugmug.
My blog is in wordpress, not blogger, so I'm having trouble getting the feed to show up on my custom SM page. I am using the wufoo iframe code, and have an iframe embed plugin installed so wordpress doesn't strip it out. No matter how I post the code in my wordpress blog post, I can never get the form to show up on the smugmug page. Frustrated!!
Code on my wordpress blog post:
[iframe height="1292" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%;border:none" src="http://goodeye.wufoo.com/embed/z7x4m1/"]
I've tried various way to show the feed and various ways to embed the wufoo code - they all seem to have the same end result. What am I doing wrong?
I'm not sure whether it works with wordpress or not - most people have used a blogspot/blogger site for it. May want to check that 'show description' is set to on in the smugmug feed settings.
5. Then just change the link in your menubar to point to your Contact page rather than the default Smug page.
Eureka!
Paul, you've helped wash some of the stupid off of me! Thank you! ivar
Seriously, thank you, and thank you, Darter02. I just couldn't wrap my pea-brain around the concept of the embedding within embedding. I also couldn't wrap my brain around the "dreams within dreams" in Inception either - go figure!
Hopefully, I'll be able to help someone else now. I appreciate the time you took to explain this.

Thank you to both you and Paul. I finally understand this on the most basic level! Hooray!

Good Evening! Long time viewer, first time poster here, lol
First off I want to thank Darter02 for this post as it was very helpful in getting my site up and running. My problem is this: I created 3 feeds, one for contact, one for map and one for calendar. I followed the directions on adding the feed to the page I wanted these items on and they were there since Sunday, I even had a person contact me earlier today on the form. Now while updating my site this evening I noticed that all 3 of the above items were not showing up anymore. I have double checked both the blogger info (which is still there and correct) and then checked the feed entry on my site and that info is entered correctly as well. I have checked on 3 different browsers as well as on another computer doing the same as well as my phone, definitely not showing up now. The two places these should show up at are: http://www.abigaylerayphotography.com/Calendar and also: http://www.abigaylerayphotography.com/Contact-Us
I would doubt that. They'd have to disable feed blocks. Right now all they host is the feed block itself, not the actual iframe. Or am I missing something??
sucks to be right sometimes. And pretty poor not to bother mentioning the 'fix' before it going live on people's active websites.
Agree darter.. What they want is censorship. Unbelievable that they cut creativity like this, and everything to mainstream their valuable customers into their control. And then they kick loose and let other companies have JavaScript access to sell expensive templates, feels that this is the road they take. Smugmug, this is getting ridiculous.. Why would js hurt you so much anyway, I mean.. It can't be of any other reason than capitalism values.. So much for creativity and freedom.. All I want is to have a decent slides how, a decent progress bar and some unique effects touch on my site...... This is offending to EVERYONE
Guys, let me repeat what Baldy said in a post this morning
"As for JavaScript, this message keeps getting buried with all the traffic, so feel free to refer to it when people ask in various threads: we planned to include it in this release and like you we were disappointed when we couldn't pull it off. But we have to do it responsibly and that's a very big challenge, hence the reason it's so hard to come by on photo hosting sites.
I think what you'll see is trusted customizers using JavaScript first, not because we have some financial relationship with them, but because the deployment is difficult and we want to get our feet wet with them first."
WuFoo is a great tool, and we DO have this on a very short list of features to research into how to properly, and safely, implement into your SmugMug sites.
that's good to hear. I think people are frustrated that no warning was made for this change, so they could not adjust their (now-live) sites to continue to handle customer queries.
It was a risk of course, as I pointed out at the beginning of the thread. I think a headsup would have been appreciated though.
Hopefully we won't have long to go till we can use wufoo forms. I can probably get away with going live then!
Sorry folks. I didn't see this thread until just now. The change wasn't done out of censorship, it was done to plug a potential security hole. We want to allow creativity on the new platform, but we have to do it in a safe and measured manner.

Thanks Paul. As I said in the Baldy Post you also comment on
Feel free to blame me for the lack of warning if you are looking for someone to blame. This forum is my responsibility. It looks like code change that happened made it so that workaround was no longer usable. I am not a developer though, so I am not up to the minute with every single ounce of code, but again, it doesn't matter. My forum, my responsibility.

Sorry, Paul. We feel your pain, but when we become aware of security holes, we have to fix them as quickly as we can.

Be sure to close that gap in the http.
1. Create a new blank page on Smugmug called Contact, then go to it.
2. Hit 'customise site' and make sure "Just this page" is selected.
3. From the Content Blocks section, grab a 'feed' section (under Social) and drag it on to the page.
4. You'll want the same settings on the feed box as I've got - number of items = 1, title off, description on, date off.
The Feed URL is unique to you though, and will be:
http://glennmcq.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default/
(tried it on my site to check its working)
5. Then just change the link in your menubar to point to your Contact page rather than the default Smug page.
