Back in September I posted about the fact that Google Docs supported uploading of Powerpoint presentations and the gave the ability to have a chat session through Gtalk at the same time.

I just found out that recently (I think as of the New Year) they’ve also provided an embed code when you publish a presentation. The reason I found this out was that I’m teaching another night course (a structures course this time) and I’m providing a wordpress.com blog with links to the slideshows for students who want to review things online.

Funny thing is that the embed code didn’t seem to work on my Wordpress.com blog. But I’ve uploaded another one to post here just to test it out. Hopefully it’s not too wide for this theme, but what the hey.

So this is really just a test. Let me know if it barfs or anything. But if it works well, it would be a neat tool for people to publish pseudo-screencasts or even (gasp) entertaining slideshows - something I know absolutely nothing about - right in their blog posts.

I’m still waiting for the Openoffice Impress support but I’m not holding my breath on that one. Anyway, let’s see if this works or not:
