BubbleShare and Plugins
February 12, 2006I recently tried BubbleShare, and am impressed by how quick and easy it is to create and share online photo albums. I also recently saw this thread on the WPMU forums. James kicked off the thread with an interesting post on which plugins he currently has running at edublogs (yes, this very host). He concluded the post with a plugin wishlist, which he in turn concluded with: “A flickr plugin that works (believe me I’ve tried but failed).”
These two trains of thought collide head-on at the BubbleShare Add Album to My Blog Junction. I’ll just paste in the BubbleShare-provided code, and…
it still doesn’t work, perhaps for the same reasons Flickr plugins are tough. I write still because I’m retrying this, following the comment from Albert of Bubbleshare. I wondered if switching off the rich text editor would help, but I’ve forgotten where it is I have to go to switch that off.
By the way, this is the album I tried to insert into this post. I was originally going to grab some of the photos tagged WordPress from Flickr. I was surprised to find that most of them are under copyright, rather than under Creative Commons. I don’t regard that as a big deal, but it seems a little strange when photos associated with free/open source software are under copyright.

Try it again now, I was speaking with Matt @ WP.com, and we did an experiment with David Crow, and I think WP.com now supports the BubbleShare blog code.
Hope to hear back from you about your success! =)

It still doesn’t work, and the post seems to be messed up. I’ll take a look back at this post, and a look around at what others are doing with BubbleShare, later.

I too am having the same problem. bsp.cameron.edu
Tried to insert as a comment to post but still, after the bubbleshare entry in each of the pages that it appears, everything is missing; posts dated previously, the footer.
Please help!

with the bubbleshare im having no luck in getting the sliders and a couple of the regular viewers with the flash effects to work. The normal shows work fine as you can see on http://www.nellycat.com/wpblog. Is it me or is it WP? Any updated code would be awsome !
Thanks,
Brian

Has anybody moved on with this? I have a blog on a WPMU host and it still won’t display Bubbleshare, or many of the new sidebar widgets that are proliferating?

John,
I haven’t tried to blog Bubbleshare stuff recently, and don’t think I’ll have time to try it for a while.
But if your blog won’t display any of the widgets, I’d suspect the setup of your blog (or of the site) rather than Bubbleshare. I’d consider posting about your problems at a forum, either the one at mu.wordpress.org, or perhaps your WPMU host has a forum?
