Slideshare is a free web 2.0 service that allows you to upload your presentation deck for the world to see. A YouTube for PPT essentially. You can embed code in you post so that the presentation will show in your own blog. So let’s give it a shot:
[slideshare=<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/slideshare/ssplayer.swf?id=9053&doc=bloglines-training-11997" width="425" height="348"><param name="movie" value="https://s3.amazonaws.com:443/slideshare/ssplayer.swf?id=9053&doc=bloglines-training-11997" /></object>]
Hmmm…. =(
As soon as I figure it out…I’ll let you know. Web 2.0 service providers need to make it AND KEEP it simple for people to blog. Why? Because most of us do this in our spare time and out of “love” and “enthusiasm”. Don’t ever lose site of this folks. If you want mass adoption AND continued use…keep it simple, fun.
As I speak I’m having trouble with Windows Live Writer. In fact I’ve abondoned using it because images are not loading properly and it’s not working with IE 6.0 (with tabs) properly.

Hi!
Don’t use the WISYWIG editor – you could then simple paste in the code. If you prefer a plugin solution look here http://www.mikrosklave.net/?p=97. The download for the SlideShare plugin is: http://www.mikrosklave.net/wp-content/slideshare.zip

I found a plugin that did not quite work, tweaked it a bit and now it does. Please checkout http://www.anabelamor.be/blog/2006/12/19/slideshare-plugin-for-wordpress/
