How to put your Soundslides project in your blog

  1. Open your SB drives and create a folder there called "public_html"
  2. Make absolutely sure you have exported a Blogger-friendly file size for your publish-to-web folders - even if you have to do it again just to be sure. Your size should be 380 px wide and 285 high.
  3. Copy your publish_to_web folder to the public_html folder you just created.
  4. Go to the Soundslides embedding utility page
  5. In a separate tab open your soundslides project at http://MySBfiles.stonybrook.edu/~NetID/publish_to_web
    where "~NetID" is your NetID and publish_to_web is the name of your folder. You will see your project open up.
  6. Copy the URL of that page into the "Slideshow URL" field in the embed utility and click continue
  7. At the bottom of the page will be the embed code that you can then copy to a blog entry.
  8. Note: If you haven't sized your project correctly, it will be cut off in the blog, and you will need to go back into Soundslides, "modify" the size, re-export and do steps 3-7 again.
