SlideShare Embeds for WordPress

SlideShare Offers users the ability to upload and share publicly or privately PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Adobe PDF Portfolios.

This plugin automatically pulls embed presentation from the SlideShare slideshow link in your WordPress blog post. You just need to put the link to SlideShare presentation on its own line, and it should not be hyperlinked.

The plugin uses oEmbed protocol to fetch the embed content from SlideShare.
