Let me preface this by saying that I do not have any association whatsoever with Flickrit. (flickrit.com/) I just like it a lot and recommend it for website photo slideshows because it has a nice set of features, it uses iframes, and it does not require Flash. I also find it to be very compatible with FreeToastHost websites.

It looks like it has also been updated to support Instagram based photos, also. Very nice!

So... you can freely choose where you want to store your photos and how you create them.

Well, I do not use Instagram (yet) ... so I am not sure what to say.

What exactly is the embed code you are trying to insert and how are you doing that? Please use the <> (code) icon above when pasting the embed code.

Well I am a little suspicious of the script....

Did you get this from the Instagram website? I have not seen it before.

I generally refer people to flickrit.com/ which supports instagram now.

Another thing that I have seen working is Google Slides.

The code is from the TI Instagram account. For any photo, click on the three dots, click on "embed" and copy the code. The code is pretty unwieldy, isn't it!

I just checked out your link to Flickrit... not sure that it is really what I want, but it might serve another purpose.

All that I am trying to do is embed a single image. I would like to have a single image spot on my webpage, that I will change every-so-often. I am not looking for the interactivity.

I will keep playing.

Thanks as always.

Ok, so you do not want to just upload an image to the FTH server and show it directly in the page then?

(Considering your comment about not needing the interactivity...)

Nice clarification Steve... NO, I do not want to just upload a photo and put it on our website. I want the flexibility to add photos that are not mine to our website--from the TI Instagram account for instance. What I am attempting is to utilize the power of social media. By having clubs send me photos, we are not utilizing social media. By embedding THEIR photos, we are. We will be sending them Karma. I am going to check out your flickrit, but it doesn't seem to be what I want. It would be nice if the embed feature from instagram would work natively on FTH just like googlemaps does.

Ok, well, it is not my flickrit, per se... I just find that it tends to work in FTH.

I looked at the Instagram embed stuff... There is a lot going on there, I think.

I would suggest putting the instagram embed code in a blank custom page and fiddling with it a bit. With all the stuff you have going on in your intended target page, it would be helpful to remove some potential sources of interaction with the embed code.
