Now share Google Docs and Google Calendars
For many of you, your WordPress.com site isn’t just about communication, it’s about collaboration, too.
We’re taking collaboration and sharing one step further today at WordPress.com by enabling you to embed presentations, documents, forms, spreadsheets, and calendars created with Google Docs and Google Calendar.
We’ve had a lot of users request this functionality from our awesome Happiness Engineers, and we are listening.
To get started sharing Google Docs and Google Calendars, just copy/paste the code provided by Google into a post, page, or text widget, and you’re done!
We’ve created two new Support documents to guide you through this step by step:
Note: if you’re sharing a private (not public) document, the viewer will have to be logged into Google and have permission to access the document.
Get sharing!

Will this work for wordpress.org ? I have a domain that I manage which uses that.

This was a nice addition to my web page. I’m new to word press and just created a website for our Transmission Repair Shop. Placing the Google Calendar into the web page is a nice way to show customers discounts, coupons, and special hours. Thank you Word Press for sharing this and for providing easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

I’m not much of a Google Docs person.. So do you think that you could also develop support for Windows Live SkyDrive’s embedded files? They have the same function as Google Docs, but the code is different. I think that would be another great feature to add on top of Google Docs.
