We have a shortcode you can wrap around source code that preserves its formatting and even provides syntax highlighting for certain languages, like so:

#button { font-weight: bold; border: 2px solid #fff; }

Wrap your code in these tags: [sourcecode language='css']..[/sourcecode]

Do not copy and paste this code - write it out. You can replace the language with one of the following language codes:

• cpp
• csharp
• css
• delphi
• html
• java
• jscript
• php
• python
• ruby
• sql
• vb
• xml

The language attribute is required! If we don’t have what you need pick the closest.
Code in between the [sourcecode] tags will automatically be encoded for display, you don’t need to worry about HTML entities or anything.

We used the syntaxhighlighter Google Code project by Alex Gorbatchev to implement this feature.

A couple of weeks ago, we added support for embedding RockYou slideshows. The feedback has been very positive and people have been requesting more slideshows, in particular ones from Slideshare.net and Slide.com.

Slideshare is a great service that enables the sharing of PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentations. There are lots of interesting presentations on their site and you can upload your own and then embed them into a blog post or page via a simple shortcode that’s listed next to all of the presentations on their site.

Slide.com allows you to upload photos and turn them into a slideshow which you can then embed into a blog post or page. They have created a nifty link for us that lets you create a show and then embed it to WordPress.com when you’re done. We also support Slide.com guestbooks in a similar fashion (they allow your friends and readers to leave photos and video comments).

What did you ask for? Contact forms. What you get? Contact forms!

Now people can send you an email without you ever publicly displaying your email address.

Here’s how: put

[contact-form]

in any post, and a simple contact form asking for the sender’s name, email address, website and comment will be inserted. When someone submits a message through the form, you receive that message in an email.

Your email address is never shown, and the sender never learns it (unless you reply to the email!).

As an added bonus, all the messages people send to you through the contact form are filtered through Akismet. That should help reduce the amount of spam you get.

Tips:

• The email is sent to the author of the post with the contact form in it. So if you have multiple authors on the same blog, each can have his or her own contact form.
• You can put contact forms in Pages as well as posts. In fact, you’ll probably find them more useful there.
• The email you receive will tell you if the message was sent by a logged in and verified WordPress.com user or not.
• Make sure to uncheck “Allow Comments” in the blue “Discussion” box when you make the contact page. Thay way, people won’t get confused about the difference between the contact form and the comment form.

Did you know you could split a single post or page up into different web pages? All you have to do is type

<!--nextpage-->

into the HTML editor where you would like your page splits to appear. You can use it throughout a long post to make two, three, four, or more pages out of the single post. When you view your post on your site, the multi-page links appear as links at the bottom. The links below are an example of the feature in action.

Pages: 1 2 3

Insert the following tag as is, at point where the post is to be split into multiple page.

Copy the numbers: value=”http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/5zYRy1JLhuGlP3BGw

How do I post a Vimeo video?

How do I embed Kyte.tv?

You can embed Kyte TV shows using the Kyte shortcode for WordPress.com. You can find the shortcode for a Kyte show by going to the embed page for a show (click on the “Embed this TV” link below a show). For example, here’s the embed page for Scobleizer’s Kyte show:

http://www.kyte.tv/channels/place.html?uri=channels/6118

You can see the WordPress.com embed code on the right hand side of the page:

[kyte.tv 6118]

If you paste that code into a WordPress.com post or page, you get this:

Note: Because Kyte provides live video streaming, chat and comments, many people use it to create live shows. If you embed a live show you might want to consider creating a separate page on your blog - for example you could call it “My Live Kyte Show” - and embedding the show there. That way your show will be permanently accessible from that page (if you were to embed it into a blog post instead, the show would scroll off the bottom of the page as you publish new blog posts).
