I discovered this WordPress plugin called Apture. You can use it to embed image, video, and other files. After you download the plugin and install it, you have to create an account with Scribd which host the files you are embedding. I like how it can display PDF and PPT presentations. I used my Dracula in FRBR terms PPT presentation saved as a PDF in this post to demonstrate how it works.
Hey you and I use the same template on our blogs. Small world.
Be sure to checkout the tips and tricks section on Apture’s blog to find out how to control the start and stop time of YouTube videos and more.
