    Well, it turns out you can embed .pdf and .ppt files via Google Docs using a simple iframe. You don’t even need a Google account.

    <iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://document.pdf&embedded=true"></iframe>

    Simply replace the bold text with your document’s url and style the iframe with css.

    This appears not to work very well with actual Google documents though, as it appends a load of navigation detritus. But it seems to work well for regular hosted documents.

    1. Has your MP signed in favour of putting parliamentary footage online?
    • ]]>     It frustrates me that organisations still seem to think they can manage their reputations by controlling what information is spread about them.

    My flow chart for managing online reputations

    This is simply not possible anymore, and attempting it just makes you seem heavy-handed and out of touch. Far better to listen to what other people are saying about you and engage when appropriate.

    The US Air Force produced a useful guide to blog assessment which susequently found its way onto the internet. It’s good, but I wanted something more generic, in plainer English, and more suitable for UK Third Sector organisations.

    So I’ve had a crack at making my own version, which you can download here. It’s released under a Creative Commons licence so you can re-hash it providing you don’t do so for commercial gain.

    Download my flow chart for managing online reputations (pdf) (the link takes you to another page, which contains a link to the pdf; one day I’ll figure out why WordPress won’t let me link directly to the pdf from here).
