Embedding a Slideshow

Image
Google Slides (on Google Drive) Here is a slideshow I made using Google Slides. What you do is create the show, then click the File menu and "Publish to Web." On the next screen you will see a space with html code to Embed the slideshow. Microsoft Powerpoint (on OneDrive) Here is an old slideshow I created with PowerPoint and saved to OneDrive. Then it's an easy matter to get the embed code and place here. This is an embedded Microsoft Office presentation, powered by Office Online . heres a photo I just right-clicked and copied from someone else.

An embedded photo album from OneDrive

This comes from a folder of photos uploaded to MS OneDrive. I used the Embed command to get HTML to embed the album.

Embed a Map

First, make the map using Google My Maps. Make it Public with the Share option, then you can click the 3-dot menu and select Embed in my site, to get the html code for here.

Another photo test

Image
If I use the Insert Image->Upload from computer, is it uploading the original, full-resolution picture? Or, is it reducing it for storage in a web album? I'm going to test. I have a picture on my computer of a sunrise in Nassau harbor 20151004_073154.jpg. It is 5312X2988 pixels, and 2.0MB in size. I'm inserting it here using the Upload option. Now when I look at the source file - located in the Picasa Web Album for this blog - I see that the size has in fact been reduced. That is so cool. This means there is no need to resize photos before using them in your blog! Making the upload from computer a very good way to go. Photo information Oct 4, 2015 2048×1152 pixels – 403KB
