Embedding Slideshare
What is Slideshare?
SlideShare (http://www.slideshare.net/) is a free service for web sharing presentations and slideshows. The service is run by SlideShare Inc, a startup based in Mountain View, California (USA) and New Delhi (India).
Slideshare supports several different types of presenting programs: PowerPoint, OpenOffice, Keynote, and PDF files.
SlideShare, which lets you share PowerPoint presentations with the world, today added the capability to match audio tracks to slide shows. This is a cool feature that podcasters could exploit to show and tell a story at the same time. Professors, marketers, and other storytellers might give this free tool a whirl to provide remote access to their work instead of using software such as Adobe Captivate or TechSmith Camtasia. You could even use Slideshare to narrate a PowerPoint-based photo gallery of your vacation.
SlideShare makes embedding a file from PowerPoint or Keynote into any blog or Web page cut-and-paste painless. Who knew cruising through PowerPoint files could be fun? You can find slide shows on nearly any subject; popular topic tags include “Web 2.0” and “humor.”
To use the new feature, just upload a PowerPoint to Slideshare, then upload an MP3 file to the Internet Archive or elsewhere. Next, Slideshare’s Create Slidecast feature will sync the sound with the slides. You can match chunks of a speech or song to precise slides, or create a freeflowing soundtrack instead.
How to Embed Slideshare?
Slideshows and PowerPoint presentations from Slideshare.net can be embedded into your blog posts and pages via a Slideshare shortcode. Shortcodes can be found by going to any slideshow on the Slideshare site and copying the following embed code as following screen.
The code can then be pasted into any blog post or page to make the slideshow show up.
