All you need to do is paste the link to a post on Bluesky into the blog editor. In the block editor you might want to use the Bluesky block, but you do not need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want a bit of a preview you can use the <strong>Add Media Button<\/strong> and then Insert from <strong>URL<\/strong> in the classic editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-bluesky-social wp-block-embed-bluesky-social\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:irmn7jbpb37umtljpthrrqye\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lhrhqfcm4k2l\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreie7tljru4xhrpqyoawb23cpzynp7r3tpz2x5pmw6xequus26jjlka\"><p>#SilentSunday<\/p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:irmn7jbpb37umtljpthrrqye?ref_src=embed\">John Johnston (@johnjohnston.info)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:irmn7jbpb37umtljpthrrqye\/post\/3lhrhqfcm4k2l?ref_src=embed\">2025-02-09T20:27:35&#43;00:00<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show the Feed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bluesky supports RSS so you can bring an RSS feed from bluesky into Glow Blogs.
