Uploading your Flash movie to your Blog...

Blogger accepts pictures and movies and hyperlinks, but it does not like Flash movies (I'm guessing they are used as advertisements too much). Therefore, we need to use a different website to store our .swf and .html files (the 2 files generated when you Publish your movie) and then link to that site from our blog.

I've searched for the best online options and I've struck out over and over (sites I have used in the past are either gone or no longer accepting new accounts). The best approach right now is to use your Mason webspace account. Simply ftp the 2 files to your public.html folder and then link to them in you blog post (follow the instructions in the lab). The good things with your Mason webspace are: reliable, individual, no ads, and a good chuck of server space.

If you haven't set-up your account, follow the instructions at the ITU Support page or swing by the STAR lab in the Johnson Center (they are generally helpful). Setup is sometimes glitchy, but once done it is not hard to use. Let me know if you are having problems!
