Experiment

Soarport offers a free place to host large images (max 10mb) which can be embedded on a website rather like a google map.....apparently you can zoom and pan. This one's a mere 1.5mb to try it out.



Hey....it works, I'm impressed!!

NB...I had difficulties registering, so this one's an anonymous upload (and you need to register to manage your uploads and find them easily, if you're not registered you have to remember the tags you assigned when you uploaded....and my memory being what it is....!)

Stories of the Border Marches

This is more a test to find out whether Scribd embed code works than to highlight a book of outstanding literary merit or interest!

Embedding a presentation experiment

Well, I wonder whether that will work? I created the presentation in Empressr (link to the right under 'BLOG GIZMOS') then copied and pasted the code into the 'Edit HTML' box. If it works it could be yet another way we could all bore the pants of the rest of the family with our holiday snaps!

Later....it worked BUT the pasted HTML needed a bit of a tweek, the width of the original box the presentation ran in was too wide and it forced the side bars down to the bottom of the posts. Easy to change tho!
