How do I embed a Google Form into a WordPress page?

Question

WordPress doesn't support iframe embeds on it's free sites, but it does provide a Shortcode option for Google Apps. It seems to automatically convert the iframe code from the older version of Google Drive into the Shortcode snippet, but it doesn't seem to work anymore now that Google has changed the form of it's form URLs.

Is there an easier way to do this? Am I missing something here?

The old form looks like this:

<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=MyFormKey" frameborder="0" width="760" height="500" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"></iframe>

and the new form looks like this:

<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/MyFormKey/viewform?embedded=true" width="760" height="500" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">Loading...</iframe>

They work fine when tested at the W3 school HTML sandbox.

Basically, you can still use the legacy google form URL if you follow these instructions:

You can create a legacy form by beginning with a google spreadsheet. The embedded code from the legacy form can enter directly into your wordpress.com blog.
