Ways to embed artifacts<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Embedding and editing pictures using a URL <\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to embed and edit pictures using a URL follow this path<\/p>\n

Dashboard>Write>WritePost><\/strong><\/p>\n

Click on the tree symbol and insert a URL. Make changes to the dimensions, layout and borders<\/p>\n

Step 1: Go to the write post tab and click on the image of a tree <\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Embedding a video<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to embed a video you have a couple options. When we get the dedicated domain you will be able to use the browse button to upload short video links..but the link will open a player on the viewers computer. Secondly you can embed movie players from second parties such as Bit TV, YouTube and Divshare. The privacy levels vary. In the following demonstration I have uploaded a video into YouTube and embedded into my site. Here is the path and procedure:<\/p>\n

Dashboard>write>writepost><\/strong><\/p>\n

Click on the A button and paste the URL for the player into the form<\/p>\n

Publish<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Embedding a slideshow<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a number of second party programs that you can embed a show with. I prefer bubbleshare because of its privacy options, ease of use and simplicity. In order to embed a slideshow first you must create a bubbleshare account, upload your pictures and copy the URL. Then you need to embed the code in your site.<\/p>\n

Path: Dashboard>write>writePost> code tab<\/p>\n

Step 1: Create a slideshow using bubbleshare <\/strong>www.bubbleshare.com<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Embedding a RSS feed<\/strong><\/p>\n

An RSS feed allows you to receive ongoing updates from a website or whenever a colleague updates their blog. Here is the path and procedure:<\/p>\n

Dashboard>Presentation>Widgets><\/strong><\/p>\n

Select a number of RSS widgets and then drag and drop one into your sidebar. Click on it and copy an RSS feed<\/p>\n

Step 1:Open the presentation and widget tab <\/strong><\/p>\n
