One of the things I loved about my previous blog A Net in Time Homeschooling that I maintained through Weebly was the ease of making a slideshow. It was SO easy it was brainless.
BUT I’ve been running into issue with weebly where I have to clear my cache to post a picture, with my browser disconnecting causes me to do resets, and lately not letting my scheduled posts .. post. It’s been annoying enough that as much as I love weebly I decided to go back to blogger.
BUT what to do about the slideshow option?
I got to thinking.
A slideshow is basically a powerpoint thing right? So how do I make a powerpoint type thing? Something that will be easy to load into a blog?
What about Google Docs? I found a video the supported the idea…I guess it used to be called presentation but now it’s called SLIDES.
Did some research and looked into google, where HEY!!! They have a slideshow option!!!
Open up the slide option, and make up your slide show, your presentation so to speak.
Once you are done, go to the sidebar again and find the publish to web button
That will bring up this window, it will open up on the LINK tab, so make sure you switch it to the embed tab.
I did find a youtube video that recommended changing the width to 600 as that will fit onto most websites properly. But much of the rest of the video was old.
Once you hit the publish button it will bring you to a new screen that will have the embed code highlighted.
Copy and paste that and you will get this:

Addendum due to comments: I am pretty sure this will work in any blog program as it’s just HTML code. Give it a try!
