CUNY Academic Commons

Hi Boone,

Do members currently have the ability to embed slideshare presentations into their blogs? As member has asked about this in the help group: http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/wordpress-help/forum/topic/slideshare/

My understanding is that they don't; if that is indeed the case, maybe we should look to add one of these plugins: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=slideshare

The only thing that worries me about this approach is that we are currently adding the ability to embed various objects from various platforms on a one-by-one basis (one for Google Maps, one for Flickr, one for video, etc.). Is there a better, more unified approach that we could explore short of allowing members to embed iframes, which we've already discussed and deemed undesirable from a security perspective?
