Has anyone placed a powerpoint on their website? If so, was there anything special you needed to do to add it? I'm not sure where to begin, and thought I would ask the PROS!

Terri,

I have a slideshow on my website (that I am working on improving...but that's another story). I created the PowerPoint as usual, and then used www.authorstream.com to upload the slideshow and convert it into a video. Once you receive notification from authorstream that it has been uploaded successfully you can then upload it to YouTube. Once it is on YouTube, you can create an embedded link on your website to the YouTube video of your presentation. You'll need to set up accounts for both authorstream and YouTube. It's a long process and somewhat time-consuming but it works.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has figured out a better or easier way of doing it.

Linda,

Thank you for answering so quickly. I too am interested if any else knows of a better way...but until then, I will begin with authorstream.com as you suggest.

Thanks for all the detail...!

PowerPoint *does* have a way to output to a slideshow. I used it in Office 2003, and it seemed to be a little rudimentary...but...it worked. They've likely improved a bit since then. It basically outputs a folder of images and html that you upload to your server. You then just have to link to the main html page it gives you. You end up with images of your slides and a page with basic navigation.

I like the suggestion of authorstream. I'll have to check that out.

You may want to look at these options too: Slideshare

Also, a newer program called Prezi is getting lots of attention. It has a web-based share feature too.

Everyone's responses are great and I have marked in my notes for future use. Apparently, my potential client is considering video instead of PowerPoint. I'm pretty certain I'll be able to upload the video without too much trouble.

Thanks everyone for your answers and suggestions!

Has anyone tried SlideRocket? It looks so easy and they provide "inspiration" themes to easily customize to what you would like to present.

Linda, your presentation is FABULOUS! I love it!

Oh I forgot about SlideRocket. I have it linked to my Google Apps account and will surely be checking it out as they have some great features added on since I review it quite some time ago.

Thanks Patty for the reminder!

Just yesterday I read about Slideshare but hadn't heard of SlideRocket. Both look very interesting - thanks for sharing!

Thanks also to Patty for your kind words - it means such a lot to me to receive your positive feedback
