Since we started this blog, I have really felt that for me to use this type of interface with my class I must be able to post word documents, presentations....basic files to my blog. I have spent sooo many hours trying to figure out how to do so. Tonight I started creating blog entries straight form Word, which is a great format as it allows you the same tool bar that you usually use in MS Word. Then, conveniently there is a hyperlink button which links to files on your computer. It seems like this is just what I want it to do...but then the link doesn't work as it gives an error msg saying my browser cannot open it. Ahhh failure.

 

So then I came across a widget called slideshare that allows you to create a slide version of word documents, powerpoint files along with a few others. You can click on the file name and view the document in its own page, but you cannot edit it in the format in which it was created.....or so I think.

 

I am looking for some advice on how to do this in an easier way......really I just want to be able to link up class work and assignments and have them directly accessible.....
