Inserting Google visualizations in Wordpress blogs

I tried to insert a Google visualization into my (other) blog. I run into problems that Google itself solved.

The solution? Use the Custom fields shortcode plugin for Wordpress: first, install and activate it. Then, wherever your visualization goes, insert

[cf]this_is_my_tag_name[/cf]

If your plugin is properly inserted, at the bottom of the page you will see a form with title "Custom fields". Add a new custom field with name this_is_my_tag_name and paste the code for your visualization into the adjacent field.

The plugin will replace your tag with the code you inserted and your visualization will be properly shown in your entry.
