Issues adding github gist to my blog(using Google blogger) - github

Question

I'm trying to add a gist to my blog to see how it works and use it to share some code related blogs going forward.
I've followed the steps mentioned form this blog, but I'm not able to get it to work. I don't know what I'm missing, any pointers on what I could be missing would be really appreciated.
My HTML Editor of blog related code looks like this:-
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hi<br />
<br />
test<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="gistLoad" data-id="4132084" id="gist-4132084">
Loading ....</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<pre style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"></pre>
</div>
<script src="https://raw.github.com/moski/gist-Blogger/master/public/gistLoader.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </div>
Thanks.
UPDATE (including, changing the code above)
I found one thing confusing for a while, why should I actually paste a div tag in the "Compose" Section of the Blog, it's afterall HTML code, so I moved it to the HTML editor part of the Blog. What was confusing to me initially was when it was mentioned in the blog:-
Now to include any gist template just add the following anywhere in
your blog post.
But anyways, now, I only get "Loading" .., The error still persists..

Here's the code that did it correctly for me. I had to ensure that within the div I copy the code that comes as part of 'Embed the gist' when you actually see one's real gist(say for e.g., this gist) on Github.
Also, one more mistake I made was in my code, the JS was not completely outside the post(it was actually inside the last div if you observer closely(my bad)). Anyways, All's well that end's well :). So here's the code that did the trick for me -
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hi<br />
<br />
test<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="gistLoad" data-id="4132084" id="gist-4132084">
<script src="https://gist.github.com/boddhisattva/4132084.js"></script>
In case you want to see how I was able to embed the gist in my blog, you can have a look
at the stackoverflow question that I posted here on the same when I had initially faced issues to get this to work for me.

Here's the actual blog link which uses the above code.

A simpler solution (since October 2014): www.gistfy.com:
Gistfy is an easy way to create embeddable code snippets from your GitHub and Bitbucket repositories or your GitHub Gist.
For example:
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.gistfy.com/github/gist/10666727'></script>
^
(id of a GitHub Gist)

The blog post you mention explains everything clearly and it's all you have to do. I'll describe what I did:
I copied the <script src="https://raw.github.com/moski/gist-Blogger/master/public/gistLoader.js" type="text/javascript"></script> into a widget that is dynamically loaded into each blog page (posts, pages, everything). This will not work, because, as being said, include the following code at the end of each of your blog posts. This means you have to include it separately in al your posts. Yes, I don't like it as well, but the blog entries are loaded dynamically, so you have to load gists after the original blog entry is loaded.
Put the <div class="gistLoad" data-id="GistID" id="gist-GistID">Loading ....</div>
just where you would put original github gist code. For example - this is a gist I wanted to display on my post. This is the original code: <script src="https://gist.github.com/tkoomzaaskz/6235219.js"></script>. The gistID is 6235219. So, instead, I put <div class="gistLoad" data-id="6235219" id="gist-6235219">Loading ....</div>. And in the end of the post, I put the javascript source from point 1.
This blog post is an example that it works fine.

I dont know, whether your are trying gist content made it as private or public. Here are the few steps for how to implement PUBLIC gist code into your blogger.
1) Create a gist file in gist.github.com(While you save the file just choose as "Create Public Gist"
2) Take/copy the code "Embed URL" text box(almost you done).
3) Login to your blogger and add copied code into your desired posts. Thats all. Your public gist code will display in your page.

Answer 5

For me it was because i was using dynamic view template on google blogger. When i changed it to simple then the javascript was working and showed the gist.

Answer 6

The 3rd party github hosted file tag didn't work for me at all. - <script src="https://raw.github.com/moski/gist-Blogger/master/public/gistLoader.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
failed in chrome with Refused to execute script from 'https://raw.github.com/moski/gist-Blogger/master/public/gis‌​tLoader.js' because its MIME type ('text/plain') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.
The embed links on github's site work, but for those wanting to avoid the reliance on a script link, I wrote code to pull down what the embed link serves up and decode it for pasting into blogger.

Answer 7

Kindly look for the Embed code ofrthe gist, i found out it to be
<script src="https://gist.github.com/boddhisattva/4132084.js"></script>
The just create a blogpost in blogger.com with just the above script, it's that easy
