p.s.: I stored the external page into the image folder and call this "copy" - that also works.

I was looking for a mambot that would allow me to embed google maps without editing html source code.

This one does the job nicely.

You might just want to take care that the wysiwyg editor won't include formatting tags such as bold etc when you insert your link.
To remove formatting, I usually copy/paste the code in notepad then back in the wysywig editor .
