How to get a game on your blog

To get the game on my blog I used the website HTML Games, this website allows you to copy the games embed code which is an important part.


  • First thing to do is select a game you like, I picked the "Garden Secrets Hidden Challenge Game" for this example.

  • I clicked on the game and it give me two options, either to play the game or embed.

  • Click on <embed> and it will open up a page that looks like this


  • Ignore the bottom options as they wont work and just copy the games thumbnail, copy the top embed code, which should look like this



  • Come back into your blog and switch the page to HTML.
  • Then paste it in and switch back to compose and your game should now be playable on your blog.
Dont worry if the game window doesn't show up it will if you publish the post.

How to get a playlist on your blog


This is my playlist

I used the website PodSnack, This is a free website, but you can also pay for premium. Premium takes away the adverts and lets you use more than 5 songs. For my example I just used the free version. To use podsnack you have to make an account but gives you the option of singing in with your google account, Facebook and Twitter.

  • Once you've made an account you can now make a playlist. To do this, click on the icon "New playlist" which lives at the top of the website.
  • It will give you a few options, but I prefer to get my songs from youtube.
  • Click the plus symbol to add it into your playlist.

  • If you want to remove a track just hover over it and click the remove button, you can also rearrange the song to where you would like it.
  • Click next and it will take you to this page, this will allow you to change your theme, sound, colour, size, etc 

  • Once you've finished and like the design and are happy with your chosen songs, click finish and your playlist will be published. It will give you a option to share, Embed or Donwload.

  • To get the playlist on your blog, grab the embed code and paste it into your blog, but making sure you have switched the page to HTML.

  • Once it has been pasted, you can change it back to Compose and your playlist will be pasted on there. Once you saved and/or published your post It will be playable.
