iFrame Code for Zenfolio page
What this does, is puts that page, inside of an "iFrame" (has nothing to do with iAnything else) - basically it's a FRAME - meaning you're putting an entire external website inside of a smaller area on your own page. This can lead to some unexpected problems however. Read on!

Small Caveat
I discovered that using the Link List Gadget in Blogger within the iFrame has some bad behaviour on certain browsers for an external links - as it will get stuck inside the iFrame as opposed to opening a new window or completely reloading the current one.
The gadget is at fault due to no functionality to specify at "Target". Editing the code on Blogger may fix this. For now - I just removed all external links. Built in and Custom ZF pages don't seem to have the problems. I can't tell if the pages are loading in new windows or within the iFrame but they show no artifact of it.
Caveat 2
While testing this out in different browsers I discovered not only that link handling was unstable across different browsers - but the Blogger Gadgets are also unstable - some will work in one browser while sometimes they don't in another. Support for Blogger is really poor - and it's really seemingly depreciated as a blogging tool with almost no updates since 5+ years ago.
Bottom line - if you have to use an iFrame - do not post any links from within your blog. (That's pretty limiting except for pure text and images. - Tumblr could work)
No links makes me reconsider the value of even using an iFrame now. The Blog may absolutely need to be an independent website/external link. Until Zenfolio provides an internal blog function - that's probably just the way it will be most functional.
It is a band-aid after all.
