In the past, Microsoft allowed had a very simple way to insert a PowerPoint presentation into a blog post.  Sadly, they no longer offer that service unless you have a business or “pro” account.  There is still a simple work-around though, and it just requires a couple extra steps.

    1. Sign up for an account on SlideShare.net, and confirm your email address immediately.
    2. At the SlideShare site, click on the “Upload” button (the big orange one in the top right of the screen), and upload your PowerPoint presentation.

  1. Click on the button under the video that says “Share.”  Then click inside the “Embed” box.  The code will automatically be selected, right click and copy it.
  2. Back in your blog post or page, switch from the “Visual” tab to the “Text” tab in the top right of the area you write your post in.  Right click where you want to insert the presentation, and select “Paste.”
  3. Preview your page or post to make sure you like it, and then publish it.

If you’re a visual person, here’s a video of me showing you how to do it:

Let me send you the checklist I go through for my clients so you can do a DIY blog audit, for free and make sure your blog is going to help you achieve your goals.

Do you write like you talk? When I started my own Do you write like you talk? 
When I started my own blog 9 years ago, as I sat down to write the first post, I decided to purposefully write like I talked instead of using more formal and proper writing. And I'm so glad I did. It's such an easy way to make your blog feel more personal and make your visitors feel like they're hearing from an actual person instead of a corporation.

If you're not sure, read your last post aloud. Is it something you would actually say, the way you would say it?

Yes...I KNOW...SEO... Just make sure to keep it balanced. And don't forget, Google itself wants you to write like a human being, for other human beings.

In Feb of 2016, I started Meyne, selling pre-made WordPress and Blogger themes for small businesses. But after having been a blogger myself since 2011, that was still where my heart was. So the focus shifted to blog designs, where I could help very cool people who have created their own careers and are earning a living doing a very fun (and deceptively hard) job. 
Meyne has come a long way and gone through so many changes/new ideas/bad ideas/fun ideas...you know, everything that comes with a business. But the best part is all the great people I've gotten to work with and be a part of THEIR businesses. 🥰
