More Slideshows
A couple of weeks ago, we added support for embedding RockYou slideshows. The feedback has been very positive and people have been requesting more slideshows, in particular ones from Slideshare.net and Slide.com.
Slideshare is a great service that enables the sharing of PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentations. There are lots of interesting presentations on their site and you can upload your own and then embed them into a blog post or page via a simple shortcode that’s listed next to all of the presentations on their site.
Slide.com allows you to upload photos and turn them into a slideshow which you can then embed into a blog post or page. They have created a nifty link for us that lets you create a show and then embed it to WordPress.com when you’re done. We also support Slide.com guestbooks in a similar fashion (they allow your friends and readers to leave photos and video comments).

Yes a neat new toy!
I can’t wait to try it out.

Awsome! I have a billion things in PowerPoint that I would like to share with my readers.. Nice nice nice!
Apr 19th at 8:17 pm
that’s cool, i think, but could you enable the Soapbox embedding? I like its videos but i can’t put them.

Now that’s nifty. I remembered one wordpresser was trying to use this on his blog and couldn’t figure out what to do. Although this is included in the wp.com FAQ, apparently the code didn’t work. So now that it can be embedded, this is a great addition.

Wonderful! That’s what I wanted, that’s what you give me! I love wordpress…
Apr 19th at 8:37 pm
Thanks, Toni!

Great news on Slideshare I have been using it on and off for the last few months and they have just added a few new interesting features such as the ability to download slides as powerpoint format.
Apr 19th at 9:07 pm
Great addition! I’m sure this one will be a hit for photography lovers.
Apr 19th at 9:44 pm
Thanks a lot!!

Apr 19th at 10:23 pm
I’m sure they’re great new additions – but do you have any plans to add Flickr slideshows?
Apr 19th at 10:36 pm
Sounds good. I’ll try it. Thanks.
Apr 19th at 11:31 pm
Nice!
Apr 19th at 11:54 pm

Apr 20th at 6:19 am
Excellent. I’m sure this will come in useful for me one day as the Splashcast support did…
Apr 20th at 6:46 am

Apr 20th at 1:28 pm
thank you very much!
Apr 20th at 2:30 pm
I’d be one of those who requested slideshare posting. Thank you very much!
Apr 20th at 2:44 pm
Brilliant….!!!
Is Odeo in the pipeline?
Apr 20th at 3:32 pm
Hei Toni.
BRILLIANT! I have used Slide.com on another site and have a few of me ‘ready made’ shows there stored. Thank you. Have a grand weekend. Keep well. Rii
Apr 20th at 4:48 pm
I discovered WordPress and Slide.com at about the same time. It’s great that I can now use them together at last.
Apr 20th at 5:32 pm
Just the stuff successfully people do

Gave up on PowerPoint in favour of PDF a long time ago. Never looked back. : )
Apr 20th at 7:54 pm
The Slide.com shows look fantastic. Thanks for the work to make them available. Now if I could only get a Last.fm playlist or a Lijit widget in my sidebar, I’d be grateful.
Apr 20th at 8:49 pm
A very good job !
A few suggestions for the future embedding services:
- Google Maps
- RSS into post
Thank you a lot.
Apr 20th at 11:05 pm
Awesome job!
I always thought it would be really neat to have a sidebar widget or something for polls on your blog. It would be really helpful for getting feedback.
Apr 21st at 3:27 am
I’m having trouble using the slide.com codes. I’ve tried in various ways, but they simply don’t seem to work on my pages. Any ideas ?
Apr 21st at 6:32 am
Fantastic to have slideshare!
Apr 21st at 1:07 pm
Great and thanks! I’m using this option now.
One question: why the option of choosing a front page (for a book-blog format) isn’t working?
I’ve got no possibility to choose a front and chapters page.
Apr 21st at 2:10 pm
I liked the cooool features that these sites have.

Apr 22nd at 7:43 pm
what about supporting scrapblog in wordpress?
that would be nice !
Apr 23rd at 1:41 am
Hate to be a pest, but what about Flickr?
Apr 23rd at 2:56 am
guess I’m gonna have to get on the bandwagon — thanks wordpress gurus – you’re great!
Apr 23rd at 6:24 am
tast on e good news.n another great addition for us…..simply love it…n m all eager to add my first slideshow soon.
Apr 23rd at 9:29 am
A small problem, I’ve seen about blogs that insert slide shows, people who follow blog by rss, don’t see the slide show in the agregator google reader, what about on wordpress ?
Apr 23rd at 9:38 am
Tried slide.com and it is nice, thanks
Apr 23rd at 3:09 pm
Yeah the slideshows are really coll, great job!
Apr 23rd at 10:02 pm
Odeo is already here, however I wouldn’t bother.
Apr 24th at 12:13 pm
Kool!!!
WordPress rocks…was waiting for this for quite sometime now.

Apr 24th at 12:43 pm
I can’t seem to get signed up at slide.com, no matter what I try. How many requests do you need before you add flickr? Add me to THAT list!
Thanks for all your work.
Apr 25th at 3:09 pm
This is so cool! I will keep using WordPress to blog!
May 7th at 7:20 am
can we have flickr slide show embed? that will be totally awesome…
May 8th at 3:30 am
Enabling the Flickr flash “badge” would be a great improvement, as well as allowing us to imbed slideshows from Webshots . In my opinion those two are more used and more useful than Slide.com or Slidshare.net, can’t we get widgets and embed codes from websites and applications we already use rather than having to switch to other means??
Thanks though, WordPress is the best implementation of blog software. Keep up the good work.
May 9th at 8:04 am
very good,I can express all I want in wordpress blog….it’s cool.
Jul 11th at 8:36 am
How about including flickr slideshows? That would be really great!
