    Best Way to frame stuff in on wordpress blog?

    I have my own self hosted wordpress blog. I want to frame in something on a page. How do I do this? Is there a specific plugin? Or do I just use some frame in HTML?

    You mean you want to use a frameset or an iframe? Or do you mean something else by frame?

    A frameset is a way to display 2 or more web pages as one web page
    an iframe is a way to display another web page within a web page.

    I am not sure if there's an available plugin but I am certain that you can do this by using some HTML codes.

    Be more specific in what you mean by "frame something", do you want to place some content from one document inside another, do you want some graphical frame around a piece of content or do you have something else in mind? Your being a bit too vague in your requirements.

    Well I guess everybody is little confused what you exactly want?
    so better if you can show us example of some website which is using that frame which you asked.
    post some urls.

    Try this:
    Code HTML4Strict:
    <object id="myObject" data="file.html" width="400" height="350">
     <param name="scrolling" value="auto" />
     <p>Your browser does not support this HTML element. You can read the document <a href="file.html">here</a>.</p>
    </object>
    Target it with .css using:
    Code HTML4Strict:
    #myObject{
      border:1px solid #ccc;
    }
    Of course you can change the ID name to whatever.
