Slideshare allows you to upload PowerPoint presentations and share them with others. To add one to your blog, all you have to do is copy the Embed in your blog code and paste it into your blog post. Before you paste the code into the post, switch to code view and make sure your cursor is where you want the slideshow to appear. Paste the code and save your post. IMPORTANT: If you go back into the post after you have saved it and make changes, you will lose the code for the Slideshare show and will have to paste the code in again.
