How to add a slideshow

Blogger automatically stores photos you have uploaded in Picasa, another great Google service. To add a slideshow to your blog, you can either use those photos or make another album in Picasa, which requires simply dragging and dropping a collection of photos you have into Picasa to upload them.

Here is how to embed a slideshow of photos you have already posted to Blogger:

1. Go to http://picasaweb.google.com/.
2. You may have to log in.
3. Once you get to Picasa, click on the album (in this case your Blogger photos) you want to make into a slideshow.
4. On the left side of the page click on "embed slideshow".
5. Select a slideshow size ("large" is the best for Blogger).
6. Choose your other options.
7. Copy and paste the code into a new blog post.

Note: it is possible that the first time you try to access Picasa, you have to add it to the services you have access to under your Google account. You'll only have to do this once.

How to embed audio

A good activity in class is to get your students to record speaking or dialogs to post. You can record these using the free and powerful Audacity software. This will allow you to save the recording in a small file size after you export the result in an mp3 format. You'll also need the lame encoder to do this after you install Audacity.

Once you have made your recording, here is how to upload it into a blog:

1. Sign in to your google account.
2. Go to the site manager of Google Page Creator (you can join Google Page Creator through Google Labs).
3. On the right side of the page where the files are, click browse and upload the audio file.
4. Next, start a new post in blogger and copy and paste the code below into it.
5. Add "sharp brackets", e.g. "<" and ">" before and after the code.
6. Replace the location of the file as defined by "http://......" with the address of the audio file you have uploaded (to find the address, right-click on the uploaded file in Google Page Creator and choose "view properties".
7. Publish the post and test it out.
8. If it doesn't work, it may be due to a slow internet connection causing a delay, or an extra space or error in your code. If necessary, go through the steps above again.
