Embedding a prezi or powerpoint in blogger

For your pitches, you have been asked to create a prezi or powerpoint presentation outlining your ideas. 

You should embed these into a blog post, rather than just creating a link to the file-it will look much more professional on your blog. I have included instructions for each below. 

Prezi: 

To embed a prezi

  1. Go to your prezi dashboard.
  2. Hover over the prezi you want to embed.
  3. Click View prezi to go to its view page.
  4. Click Embed in the button underneath the prezi. 
  5. In the pop-up, click Copy code to clipboard.
  6. Here you can change the width or height of the prezi using their respective boxes. You can also chose to allow viewers to pan and zoom freely or to constrain them to simple back and forward steps using the two check boxes.
  7. Go into blogger and create a new post
  8. In the new post, click the HTML button (beside 'compose' in the top left) and paste the embed code into your post.
  9. Publish your post and view your blog to see if it works. If your prezi isn't the right size, you need to go back to the prezi website, adjust the width or height and copy the new embed code into blogger again. 
Here is a video explaining how to do it: 

It will look something like this: 




Powerpoint: 
1. Go to slideshare.net and upload your powerpoint to it. 
2. Get 'embed in webpage' address information
3. Copy the embed code
4. Go into blogger and create a new post
5. In the new postHTML button (beside 'compose' in the top left) and paste the embed code into your post.
6. Publish your post and view your blog to see if it works. 

The slideshare below goes through it step by step. Keep in mind you are using blogger.co.uk and it is showing an older version of it, but the process is still essentially the same.
