How to create a Calameo embed code that is compatible in wordpress.com blogs
It’s really easy to embed a Calameo document in your free wordpress.com blog.
Choose a document from their collection or upload your own document.
I chose to embed the publication Pitagoras.
Get the embed code
I clicked the link “Share” to get the embed code.
Copy the appropriate code
I copied the standalone url.
Copy the standalone url of your chosen Calameo document.
Paste the code where you need to have your Calameo embed.
The standalone url of the Pitagoras embed is this:
http://v.calameo.com/2.1/cviewer.swf?bkcode=0002685127af1680568e4&langid=en
Create a Calameo code that will work in wordpress.com
You need the url at this point.
Create your code in the following method:
gigya src=”STANDALONE-URL” width=”nnn” height=”nnn”
*Change the parameters in the above code as needed and paste it within third brackets:
[]
* Learn more about the gigya method.
This is how my embed code for PITAGORAS looks:
gigya src=”http://v.calameo.com/2.1/cviewer.swf?bkcode=0002685127af1680568e4&langid=en” width=”600″ height=”500″
All I had to do is paste the code between third brackets [] and I got the Calameo document embed up and running in my free wordpress.com blog.

Hi Netty Gritty, Good Day. Read with great interest your step on Posting Calameo Books to WordPress.com. When I followed the steps and goto the “Share this publication” of Clameo Books. Found that the “Standalone URL” is no longer there. The option now:-
1. HTML code (new version, iPad compatible)
2. HTML code (old version)
3. WordPress click here to get the plugin (I know this is for WordPress.org)
Any suggestion on whether putting Calameo Books on WordPress.com is still posiible?
Thanks a lot.

I am checking. I will keep you updated.
You can modify the HTML code (old version) into a gigya shortcode.
