Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

OK, I am still going to write about how to embed Google Wave inside WordPress, nonetheless. This is how you can do it.

Simply go and install Wavr, a plugin created using the Google Wave Embed API and it officially works on WordPress. Note that you must have a Wave developer account for testing purposes. The plugin has a variety of options that you can use like editing the wave’s colors and more.

The feature is still on the development page so changes will occur, bugs are present and there is nothing much to see.
