Slideshare is a repository of online slideshows. Like Youtube, it's a great resource for finding material for presentations and to support ideas in your posts. These resource can be downloaded and/or embedded into your blog as seen below. There are many ideas produced by others that are made available for you to expand your thinking by seeing perspectives, perhaps, different from your own. You'll need to set up an account. It's well worth the experience.

Explore
Go to Slideshare and search for presentations that interest you. Try clicking the links at the top to view the "Most Viewed" and "Most Downloaded" for some of the popular presentations. If you are a PowerPoint (or other presentation software) user, you may want to upload your own presentations. Again this is a way to make yourself know to an audience, and perhaps draw them to your blog or website. Here's a video that describes Slideshare.
Embed
Select a presentation to embed on your blog. Look for the embed code -- just like when you embedded a video. For a review on how to embed, see Thing 10. For your convenience, here is that video:
