Embedding movies in blog posts

by Susan Delagrange on November 29th, 2007

This movie is a Quicktime version (.mov) of my Powerpoint presentation on Copyright and Fair Use. I put it on my blog in four steps:
1) I saved my Powerpoint presentation as a 320 px wide by 240 px high movie. If you are working in iMovie, you can do the same.
2) I uploaded it to my blog.
3) I changed the code to embed the file rather than link to it (see handout).
4) I added this introduction. Your introduction should speak briefly about your topic.

Audio goes live!

Good news! Your Audio Essays have been uploaded to the web; you can now create a link to them in your blog so that other people can listen to your wise words.
Of course, you could just stick a link in and let it go at that:

Here’s my audio essay.

Or you could take advantage of the fact that your blog is visual and verbal: write a few sentences about your topic and why you chose it, then add a small image about your topic.
