If you’ve an Exc-el / eduBuzz blog, you can now embed PowerPoint slideshows like this from SlideShare into Posts and Pages, thanks to a Plug-in from Koen.

Here’s how to do it. First, activate the SlideShare Plug-in from the Plug-in menu. Next,

For embedding a slideshare object in a blog post enter

[#slideshare id doc#]

into the text area. Remove the # characters - they’re just there to avoid embedding something here!

Replace “id” and “doc” with the corresponding values from the URL of the object. For embedding the presentation at https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/slideshare/… you would enter [#slideshare 4991 ajaxworld-15351#] (without the # characters).

You’ll get these details from the “Embed into your blog” text - you’ll probably need to copy and paste it into Notepad to read it easily.

The example above is from a test page on the MGS Biology blog.
