What a gorgeous day ...

Am sitting in the sun on the most glorious spring day updating my blog. Have planned my afternoon/early evening so will be free to watch the All Blacks thrash those Aussies. Have spent the last few days updating our school wikispace and thought I would embed a slideshow onto my blog that I used to help me update it...

I needed to get our slideshow and video presentation on the wikispace and hadnever uploaded these before. Am very blonde when it comes to these sorts of things and thanks to Belinda she pointed me in the right direction. I managed to upload our slideshow presentation onto slideshare.com and our videos onto divshare.com. Now came the tricky part (well it was for me) embedding them onto the wiki. Spent ages trying to link them externally etc etc, then decided to google (why I didn't in the first place I don't know) and below is the result of my google. Thought I would embed this slideshow into my blog because hay who knows there might be some more blondes out there. At least on a blog they call a video a video which is commonsense, these stupid made up words like widgit ....

Hope someone out there that is needing to embed some videos and slideshows onto their wikispace finds this helpful.

P.S : Just one more thing when I am uploading videos from divshare I would probably edit the Html code to make the screen a little smaller in width and height. It comes out quite large when you upload.
