   Hi,
   I'm currently building http://podcast.com with a load of features such as user playlists and podcast directory and feed navigating/playing widgets.

   I have seen various companies have been able to provide simple 'shortcodes' enabling WordPress.com users to post various widgets and objects in their posts (usually Flash audio/video players etc.) and I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on what I would need tp provide to enable a simple shortcode from our system at podcast.com

   I can easily create a short id/url to use for these to enable something like:

   [podcast feed:xxxx] - to display a player with recent entries to a feed id (xxxx)

   or

   [podcast folder:xxxx] - to display a navigatable podcast directory and feed reader/player for a podcast.com folder id (xxxx)

   or

   [podcast playlist:username] - to display a podcast.com user's playlist player

   If someone could point me in the right direction to the correct person to talk to about this, I'd be eternally grateful. :)

   Many thanks,
   kosso

   I would use the "contact Support" link above. Mark can then forward your request to the appropriate people for consideration.

   Hi,
   The Contact Support link seems to only take me to a page of tagged posts from around WordPress.com and not to a direct support form link.

   So, decided maybe a post to the Questions forum would be better?

   thx

   The support link is wonky. It's taking us to the wordpress.com main page.
   But you can reach staff by emailing support [at] wordpress [dot] com

   btw. I found out that a certain level of 'desire' for a widget shortcode has to be attained first ;)
