How do you embed a blog in the new smugmug?

I can use blogger or tumblr, but not sure which code to use. I've tried some scripts, but when I try to save my HTML edits, the code gets wiped. I think it's because it's JavaScript. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I use blogger, and I matched the look of my blog to my smugmug site. Links to my smug site and blog are in my signature.

    Michael Bonocore chose to add some pages to his smug site to serve as his blog. You can see what he did at http://www.mb-photography-sf.com/Blog.

    I'm not sure what you're after when you say "embedding a blog". I've seen folks place a blog in an HTML-only page in legacy smug; in my opinion that gives a pretty minimal viewing experience. That's not an option in the new smug.

    I have a blog on wordpress. All I did to put it on my new smugmug (along with facebook and twitter) was placing the icons under my menu. The icons are distinct and everyone knows what they are. I went this route rather than adding an actual typed link in my menu bar.

    I found out how. Under the items to add, there is a feed option. Also, use this link for making it wide: http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=237355

    I'm trying to do something like Michael did above -- my Blog tab in my menu bar shows my pages as a drop down...how do I turn that off? I don't want a list of all the "posts". Any ideas?

    If your blog entries in your menu show as a drop-down then edit the menu and remove the drop-down items.

    Without seeing your site no one will be able to give you information specific to your site. Please add your site URL to your signature so it is always available to the helpers here. Click the clipboard icon in the navbar above, then Edit Signature. Begin your link with http:// to make it clickable.
