Embedding your live blog in your website
BlogLive.Online integrates easily with your CMS-powered website. Feature-rich live blogs can be embedded with a short script snippet.
For most CMS systems, being able to add HTML to a web page is enough to embed a live blog. Since BlogLive.Online works with JavaScript, you only need to add our liveblog script and a container where the timeline can be placed:
<script src="https://cdn.liveblog.cloud/liveblog.js" liveblog="ID" org="ORG" st_template="TEMPLATE"></script>
Parameters:
liveblog="ID"— The unique ID of your live blog (found in the dashboard).org="ORG"— Your organisation ID.st_template="TEMPLATE"— Required for social media styling. Choose the template that matches your desired look (e.g. default, compact, cards).
The script URL determines the host (testing vs. production). The host is derived automatically from the script URL.
The container
is where the live blog posts will appear. Place it exactly where you want the blog to show on the page.
WordPress
If you use WordPress, you can also use our plugin. Download the plugin zip from the Downloads page in the dashboard, and upload it in WordPress via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
After activation you can use the shortcode:
[bloglive id="YOUR_BLOG_ID"]
Note: The shortcode behaviour depends on the plugin version. If it doesn't work as expected, check for plugin updates or use the JavaScript embed code above (which always works).
