8.4. Embedding your slide show in WordPress

Note: At this time, blogs hosted at WordPress.com are not allowed to insert embedding code. The directions below are therefore only applicable to privately hosted WordPress blogs.

To embed your slide show in WordPress, you will first need to upload the "publish_to_web" folder created when you click the "EXPORT" button in Soundslides or Soundslides Plus.

For more information on exporting, click here. For more information on uploading to your Web hosting company's server, click here.

You will then use the online embedding tool to create a code to embed in WordPress.

Generating the embedding code 

Use your Web browser to open http://www4.soundslides.com/apps/utilities/, then enter your slide show's URL in the form and click the "Continue" button.

 

The utility will now create the code to embed your slide show. You should see a preview of your slide show when the page loads. Below the preview you'll see a text box containing your embedding code.

 

Note: If the text column of your blog page layout is narrower than the size you selected when creating your slide show, you can modify settings from this page, then click the "Modify" button.

Inserting the embedding code in WordPress

Go to your WordPress "new post" page. Click on the "Code" tab above the text box (see below).

This activates the HTML editor in WordPress, and will allow you to paste in your embedding code.

 

Paste the embedding code into the form.

 

Click the "Publish" button.

You should now see your slide show displayed in your WordPress blog.
