Ask HN: Converting a Slideshow to a Website?
I have an old PPT, now converted to Google Slides and slightly edited and I have set up a BlogSpot site to move it to. But I am running into real problems with moving graphics, figuring out how best to convey the information, etc.
The slideshow is probably super bad (even after today's edits). I have had it for about 14 years and the project began in 2001. I can't see what I need to do different. I probably need to do a lot of things different.
I am interested in whatever feedback I can get. I had a previous website where I just linked to the slideshow and I don't think that worked all that well. I would like the content to be properly published on the web. Copying and pasting is absolutely not working (it does not bring over any of the graphics, formatting, etc).
Thanks.

And if you've got the possibility to manually enter html and css (I don't know my way around blogspot, honestly)
Depending on whether you already know html, modifying the resulting document to something useful should be farily easy.
This power-point to html converter might help: http://www.zamzar.com/convert/ppt-to-html/
Not sure if it handles animations, though - it's all possible in html, but it might need some additional effort.
It is mostly text, which I am having no trouble copy-pasting, but there are some graphics, basically all maps. I did the map work at least in part while in GIS school. GIS for the common man, a la Google Maps et al, has come a long way since then. It is possible that I will just rethink and re-do the maps. Not as easy as copy-paste, but that isn't working anyway, and this might get me a better end result.
Thanks all who replied. I am looking at the various suggestions and resources and checking what might work for me.

Or have I mis-understood

or upload it to http://www.slideshare.net/ and embed it
It is quite old and needs to be updated in various ways. But I really don't want to embed the slideshow. I want to take the content and publish it as webpages. So, that's my question here: How do I do that? I have maps and stuff on it and it doesn't just copy-paste.
Honestly I don't know if other platforms such as Blogger/Blogspot preserves formatting, but I hope so.
For the maps and images, which I assume only cover part of the slideshow, for each slide do screencaptures of only the images (that is, they will be already cropped and separated from the text, hope I explained myself).
After you finish exporting all your images as individual pieces, it will be very easy to import them into place in your Wordpress.
Copy-pasting isn't working at all, except for the text. The graphics aren't copying at all.
They are mostly maps. I am considering redoing them.
Thanks for your feedback.
