How to Add a PowerPoint to Blogger

1. Open Microsoft PowerPoint. Create the presentation that you want to embed on your Blogger account. Save it to an easily accessible location, such as "My Desktop" or "My Documents."

2. Open an Internet browser window and create an account on Scribd.com. Find the "Sign Up" button in the upper right hand corner. You will need an email address, username and password.

A Scribd account allows you to make friends and host or publish documents online. The Scribd account will host your PowerPoint presentation. You can also sign up for a Scribd account through a Facebook account.

3. Sign into your Scribd account. Click on the "Upload" button at the top of the page. Choose to upload a single file, instead of a group of files.

4. Type in your email address, when you see the screen that says "Wait! Your document isn't published yet." The email address is required for legal reasons. Click "Send" to publish your document.

Type in a description of your PowerPoint at the bottom of the Publishing page, if you want to. This is not required, but you can create tags and categories, if you want to share it on Scribd.

                               

5. CLick "Save Changes" and you will be taken to the "Share your documents" page. Find the "Embed Code" near the bottom of the page. Uncheck the box that says to include a link to the file at the top of the code and press the "Copy" button to copy the code.

There are 2 elements to this code. The first "Object" tag tells an independent webpage how to post a presentation. The second "Embed" tag tells how the presentation should be embedded in another program, such as Blogger.

6. Open another Internet browser tab. Sign into your Blogger account.

7. Create a new post on your Blogger site. Type the title of your PowerPoint post.

8. Place your cursor in the post box and paste your Scribd code. If you are using an Apple computer, press the "Command" and "V" keys to paste the code. If you are using a PC, press the "Control" and "V" keys to paste the code.

9. Find the 2 parts of the code. The object part should start and end with angular brackets that look like "<" and ">" around the word "object." Delete this portion.

You should now only have the "Embed" element. It should begin and end with angular brackets around the word "embed."

10.Click the "Publish Post" button. Return to your Blogger site to the PowerPoint posted to your homepage.
