Okay, it’s not working right yet. I’m still trying to figure it out. Okay, got it working. Problem was that trying to insert script elements into a wordpress post was problematic because it insists on mangling quote characters. I’ll post again when I have this all figured out.
I’ve disabled the above, since it doesn’t work properly from comments and the archive.
Oh, forgot the link to the API description.
Addendum: The Text Control plugin allows you to disable funky quote remapping on a post, which keeps the Javascript from being mangled. Check it out.

Hmmm. It complains that the API key was generated for another site
