Posting an Editable Document with GoogleDocs and i-frames

An ‘i-frame’ is like a window looking into another website. To post a GoogleDoc we need to make one of these windows in the blog post:

MAKING A GOOGLEDOC
One can make an editable document using GoogleDocs at http://docs.google.com
To be fully editable the ‘sharing’ settings must be set to ‘Visible on Web’ and ‘Anyone can edit’
The URL for the GoogleDoc can be found in the sharing settings; it looks something like this:

http://docs.google.com/document/d/154KiOwt_IrrBqmH35Ai22SWFqhg4URhi3CmI7YrGlFE/edit?hl=en

POSTING THE I-FRAME
Enter the following into the Post Content box

1. DESCRIPTION
Put a short description of the editable document in the post content box:

e.g Editable zone for discussions towards the workshop about growing plants

2. I-FRAME CODE
Paste the URL for the new GoogleDoc in to the code below and then copy the whole thing in to your post:
