<h3>What is the process for getting a presentation/document onto SlideShare?</h3>
<p>Uploading a slideshow is a two step process.</p>
<p><b>Step 1:</b> The first step is the actual uploading of the PowerPoint / Word / OpenOffice / Keynote / PDF file to our servers. During this upload process, the blue progress bar will keep you informed that file is being uploaded.</p>
<p><b>Step 2:</b> The second step is converting the uploaded file to SlideShare's format for sharing it online. Once the file is uploaded successfully, it is placed in the queue for conversion. If there are a lot of slideshows in the queue, then this might take a while.</p>
<p>You can move away from the page and come back to check later. Look in the "My Slidespace" page for the converted file. If there was an error in the conversion stage, these files will not show up in the front of your "My Slidespace". You will need to go to the "My Slidespace/Edit All" to find the files that were not successfully converted.</p>

<h3>How can I embed a slideshow into my blog or website?</h3>
<p>It's pretty easy. First go to the page for individual document or presentation on SlideShare. On the right of the document player you will see a text box called Embed, with funny looking code in it. It should look something like this</p>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="blah blah blah" width="425" height="348"> <param name="movie" value="blah blah blah" /></object>
<p>If you take that code and paste it into a blog posting or web site, then you will get a little embedded slideshow there. Here's an example of what it will end up looking like.</p>

Slidecasting is a new multimedia format from SlideShare - you can play any slidedeck synchronized with an audio file. To create a slidecast, upload slides to SlideShare. Your audio file, however, can be hosted anywhere on the web- any server, file storage, or podcasting service. You link the slides & audio together using our synchronization tool. Now every time you play the Slidecast, the audio is streamed from its location and plays with the slides. You can think Slidecasts as a mashup of SlideShare with podcasts.
