 * Used button and shortcode in a post but the timeline doesn’t load:

 * The “source” attribute in the short code should be a link to a Google Spreadsheet,
   not to a finished timeline.
 * In your case, something more like
    [timeline src=”[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgIA0Cg1XUhUdFdOZzgxemN5WW9mR3VXQTY0cVlkMGc&output=html&#8221](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgIA0Cg1XUhUdFdOZzgxemN5WW9mR3VXQTY0cVlkMGc&output=html&#8221);
   width=”100%” height=”650″ font=”Bevan-PotanoSans” maptype=”toner” lang=”en” ]
 *  (I didn’t check the non `src` attributes

 * Thanks Joe! Any way to induce the original source? I only have the finished timelines—
   this is curated course blog, and the students have long since graduated.
