Publishing files

Another nice way to publish files is using ISSUU. This service allows you to publish documents with text, pictures and you can even insert a link to an audio file.
You can first create a word file, insert some pictures or some scanned drawings, and finally convert it into a pdf file.
You can convert a word file into a pdf by clicking on the pdf link in your word programme (on the right hand-side corner) or by clicking on print, select printer and click on pdf printer, in this way a pdf file will be created from your word file.
Once you have your pdf file, you can uploaded to http://www.issuu.com.
First, as usual, you'll have to sign up and confirm your registration by email. Next time you access the site you'll need to remember the details to log in, so please write them down.
So, log in and click on upload document. Then, click on browse to select the file. Fill in the general information you are required about the text . In the media section, if you click on choose options, you can insert a link to an audio file, which you may have previously uploaded to an audio hosting place, such as Snips.
When all the info has been filled in, click on upload and after listening to a quick introduction video to Issu, select the uploaded document and click on embed.
Click on customize and embed, to change colour and other things, and when you are ready, copy the embed code, open a new window in your navigator, go to your blog and copy the embed code on a new post.
