I agree about the "not knowing anything" part. I think we should try to keep you guys informed more (and faster)! We often see these reports and can't get the answers right away, but we are always watching out for you guys and we want to help.

Most of the time, it's the "not knowing anything" that's the worse thing. For me, at least.

See http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript

If you would like to be able to do unrestricted JavaScript or Flash embeds, WordPress.org is the best choice because it gives you full control of the code.

Both are good choices! It just depends on what kind of setup you need.

Keep in mind it's a 3rd party service. We need to dig a little to find out what's causing the trouble.

@knashermac2009 It always helps to know exactly when the problem started, so thanks for including that information.

I would've preferred not to have been allowed to have it in the first place.

If indeed the plug has been pulled, the least WP could do was tell us it was being yanked so we wouldn't be sitting here going DUH?

Maybe because nothing has been said, it's a problem that's being worked on...

We'll see, I suppose...

Gigya is no longer referenced in their own support documentation. I won't get upset just yet - after all it could be a mistake, but I have used gigya extensively in my blog - maybe not for embedding a live cow - but I did use it for many creative purposes.

So in other words, when designing a WordPress blog, we should never assume that any feature is going to be permanent? Anything can be withdrawn at any time? No - I'm not panicking.....Yet.

That's not to say that they have, but that it might have happened that way.

Not just in my own blog, but in all WordPress.com blogs.

Would wordpress suddenly pull the plug like that or is it likely just to be a glitch? (I have contacted support)
