How to add a link to a document, e.g. Powerpoint or Word document

1. Upload your powerpoint/word document to Scribd
2. Click on Share and Embed
3. Go to Advanced embed
4. Enlarge your work so it is easy to read and is viewable (in width - about 1000!)
5. Click on update the embed code
6. Highlight the url address in the top toolbar. E.g: http://www.scribd.com/doc/23076545/Horror
7. Go to your blog
8. Go to new post
9. Type in "Powerpoint link here" or whatever your document name is.
10. Drag your mouse across the word here
11. Click on add link and paste the url address into the address bar.
12. This will then automatically link your scribd work to your blog, and shows not only can you embed but also link items too!!!

Hope this helps

If you would like extra data - have a look at box office mojo. This will show you the box office takings for every Hollywood film, split into genres. Look up Horror and you will see the highest grossing horror films (split into categories) of all time.

Year 12 - your blogs are looking fabulous so far! Some excellent content!

Maybe for your similar media works presentation on your audience research you could include your own research such as questionnaires on horror target audiences?

After some confusion you are only posting a mise-en-scene analysis (of a horror film) and embedding the video onto your individual blogs - you are NOT creating a powerpoint. We will go through how to make the Powerpoint next week in lessons.
