HINTS FOR SUCCESS IN ASSIGNMENT 4.
- if you look at your powerpoint in slideshare there should be an option to embed if you select it there will be a huge long list of numbers and letters/symbols... copy them. go to your blog and paste the whole lot into a new post (make sure the title is clear) . you also need to select the blue 'post options' below the actual post box and make sure you have selected 'interpret typed html'. When you publish post it should appear as a slideshow inside the post
- if this does not work try this way... 'add a gadget'...choose the html/javascript option and then embed the code in a similar way as above; by copying the code and pasting it in the box - remember to save the gadget and then save on the design page - you should see the slideshow/powerpoint in a gadget on your blog.
- the final way is to use the link button on the post options - this way you can add the link to the url or address where we can view the powerpoint on Slideshare - it is only possible to add web-url/addresses - you cannot add a blog OR embed code like this.

WHAT ABOUT SOFTWARE: what can i use to share my video?
I always use Vimeo as a site for video - it is free and very easy to use - you can make an account at Vimeo.com. Once my video is there i can upload it to my blog. if you have already used a similar video site before try it - I can look at it at home if the site is blocked in school

- show off what you have learned about photography
- write down a list of bullet points if it helps you to remember.
