Video Tutorial: How to embed a PDF document into your blog post.

Hi everyone! I haven't done a video tutorial for the ActiveRain community for a while, and this one's been on my mind. This quick video will show you how to easily embed a PDF document into your blog post using a free service called Scribd.

It's easy and free to set up an account with Scribd at www.scribd.com. You can either sign in with your Facebook account or create your own account.

And once you have your account, you can upload documents and then embed them into your blog posts. Take a look!

As always, if you enjoyed this and would like to see more, please leave me a comment and feel free to subscribe to my blog.

I love Scribd!! I've been usuing it for several years now. And Scibd gets great Google juice. Plus you can sell documents. Doesn't get any better than that.

And yes it's a great way to embed your docs in a blog.
