Creating a Presentation on Google Docs

Presentations can also be created in Google Docs, in a similar manner as we would create a wordprocessing document. The presentation is created online and can be shared immediately without the need to upload it onto a third party site. The advantage of using Google Docs to share presentations is that you can also have other people adding and collaborating on the same document. Here is a short Google Docs presentation I created about the island of Malta:

Embedding a SlideShare Presentation in Blogger

  1. Create a presentation with your favorite presentation application: PowerPoint, OpenOffice Impress, etc.
  2. When your presentation is ready, go to www.slideshare.com
  3. If you do not already have an account, create one first
  4. Click on the Upload button on the top of the screen
  5. While your file is uploading, you can change its settings: make the file public or private, change the file's name, tag it, and whether other people are allowed to download it or not.
  6. To embed your presentation in Blogger, start a new post, change to Edit HTML mode, and copy and paste your slideshare's code in the text box.
