I've got a blog going and I'd like to be able to post a game board or two on there using FEN or PGN etc, but I can't figure out how to do it. Please help!

If you've got a completed game, go to it and there should be a button on the right saying get PGN, and I think there is a FEN in there as well.

but how do I turn that into something that is viewable as a board in a blog?
I tried the [fen] thing and it doesn't work. It might work in the forums here, but not on a blog.

You'll need a bit of knowledge in programming I believe. It depends on where you are posting the blog. Most of the time, blogs will accept HTML.

It's on blogspot. I've tried a few times and I can't figure it out.

Use a javascript which somebody else has written.
