How to embed a Google doc

1. From your dashboard, go to a post or page. Above the editing window, click the Add Advanced iFrame button:
   
   
   
   
2. It will insert this sample shortcode:
   
         [advanced_iframe src="//www.tinywebgallery.com/blog/advanced-iframe" width="100%" height="600"]
   
   
   
   
3. Go to your Google doc, https://docs.google.com. Select Share and copy the share link, no https:// in front is needed.
   
   
   
   For example, your share link would look something like this:
   
         docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ecToP84j-VXXZUhOYeK2EjO
   
   
4. Go back to your MALAT WebSpace, edit the shortcode on your page:
   
   
   • in the quotation marks, replace "www.tinywebgallery.com/blog/advanced-iframe" with your link,
   • leave the two forward slashes //
   • It should look like this now: [advanced_iframe src="//docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ecToP84j-VXXZUhOYeK2EjO" width="100%" height="600"]
     
     
     
     
     
5. Publish or update to save the changes. Click the permalink to see your google doc embedded in an iframe.
