[OpenLayers-Users] Problems embedding OpenLayers in a Blog

[jamesmikedupont at googlemail.com]

I am looking at this example,
http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/osm-layer.html

It is using GML instead of OSM, and it is also loading from the
openstreetmap.org domain.

How can this example work if you cannot load map data from another domain?
