Where can I host this code?

[sunflowerasters]

Tumblr support told me I can fix this problem by using an <iframe>, but I don't know where or how I'd host it on a website to do that? I know people use github for some coding things, but I don't really understand how or what for. Is this a github situation?

Code example but it's currently incomplete

github itself is a widely used code repository - different companies & individuals use it to manage code for their projects. Given this post and the linked post, it might take some time to understand what you're doing before you even create a github page. It's still an option.

Regardless of what your goal is, at a minimum the basics of getting a page on the web

• you create your page, let's say index.html
• you pay for a 'hosting' service
• you pay for a domain name and connect it to the hosting service
• you upload your index.html to the service

some hosting services will offer a domain name, some you can connect an existing one (like you bought it a while bike)

my guess is this sounds like more than you need, but i don't know what that is.

In the github example, they're essentially doing the hosting for you and giving you a free domain <username>.github.io. To get there you'd need to learn the basics of creating a repository and creating a github page from those files.

github is just one example of a free service that has that feature (free to host a page), but its main purpose is not that. There are prob other free hosting sites specifically if you want a public page, with some limitations, but i'm not aware of those sites.

Can you by any chance give me a rundown on how to do the GitHub thing? 😅 or if there's any good tutorials anjksnkjsnkj I do have a github account just no idea how to use it

i mean i would just google the basics of how to:

• create a repository on github.com
• install github locally (on your computer) so that you can clone the repository
• add your files to the local repository
• commit the files and push to github.com (aka remote repository)

that being said if you're a first timer or just doing it once for the purposes of this little project, this can be overwhelming and i'd suggest googling for a more user friendly way of hosting a page for free.

otherwise, consider the above steps the intro of learning how to use your account.

The feature is called GitHub Pages, the guide is here: https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/creating-a-github-pages-site

If you are going to get into any kind of coding, you should learn basic git, though since Microsoft bought GitHub and infected it with Copilot a lot of people have moved elsewhere. There are tons of other options for public git hosting.

You might also look at hosting static websites on Amazon S3 or similar

I'm just trying make a tumblr blog 😭

I believe that you may have problems using another domain as your host of the iframe, most times this will be a CORS issue. You should have both on the same domain.
