I was wondering how to do this. Each doodle is an HTML file, but how would I put it on my site?
Here's my site block code:


<divz id="p473I"><!--NEW ID-->
   
    <div class="item portfolio" id="portfolio2">
   
    <div class="container">
   
    <div class="row margin-bottom-40">
   
    <div class="col-md-12">
   
    <p class="lead text-center editContent">
    See some of our work below<br>
                            Click "Content" above and then you can click here to edit this text.   
    </p>
   
    </div><!-- /.col-md-12 -->
   
    </div><!-- /.row -->
       
    <div class="row margin-bottom-20">
   
    <div class="col-md-3">
       
        <div class="col-md-3">
       
        <a href="">
        <img src="/page/images/portfolio2.jpg" class="img-rounded width-100" alt="" data-selector="img">
       
        </a>
           
    </div><!-- /.col-md-3 col -->
   
    <div class="col-md-3">
       
        <a href="">
        <img src="/page/images/portfolio3.jpg" class="img-rounded width-100" alt="" data-selector="img">
       
        </a>
           
    </div><!-- /.col-md-3 col -->
   
    <div class="col-md-3">
       
        <a href="">
        <img src="/page/images/portfolio4.jpg" class="img-rounded width-100" alt="" data-selector="img">
       
        </a>
           
    </div><!-- /.col-md-3 col -->
   
    </div><!-- /.row -->
   
    <div class="row margin-bottom-20">
   
    <div class="col-md-3">
       
        <a href="">
        <img src="/page/images/portfolio5.jpg" class="img-rounded width-100" alt="" data-selector="img">

        <a href="">
        <img src="/page/images/portfolio8.jpg" class="img-rounded width-100" alt="" data-selector="img">

How do I replace the pictures with doodles?

Does this qualify as a signature? 
The answer is "Sure."

Can't you just point to the last URL instead of an image in the img tags? Also you would need to make sure that Google allows you or any other third-parties to hotlink to their doodle files. It's possible that they disabled hotlinking altogether, so even if you had valid code, then it might still not work.

An iframe won't solve the issue I mentioned above if its content is not hosted on Google, though. I wonder if Google offers an API or something to embed their special logos on your own site?

Ah, that's good, then. Just make sure to not take remote/hotlinking for granted. You can probably put them on your site until they disable hotlinking (ticalc used to disallow hotlinking and what it did is that you couldn't link directly to zip files and if you used a screenshot on a forum it turned into ticalc.org logo). Some sites do that for bandwidth or copyrights.

EDIT: And darn, that game is hard  >.<

Thanks, but while I was away, I realized I could use "Inspect Element" in Chrome, and then copy the "id="doodle-hero"" element and paste it directly into my page, which would generate the doodle and only the doodle. It's exactly the same as using the iframe, because the iframe is in the "doodle-hero" element wherever a doodle is hosted.

I credited all the doodles, so until then, I should be good. :)

It gets more difficult. :P  You should try the Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary doodle if you want to see hard.
