<br />
This post concerns how to embed a chart into a blog post. First start by creating a new spreadsheet using Google Docs. In my example I simply input data into 2 columns. Next, I followed the following steps below:<br />
<br />
1. Highlight the data columns<br />
2. Select <strong>Insert>Chart</strong><br />
3. Select the type of Chart you want to display. Give it a name.<br />
4. Click "Save Chart" or hit return<br />
5. Right click and choose "Publish Chart" from the menu that appears.<br />
<br />
A window will appear with the HTML code you need to embed into your blog or website.The Smart Channelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05441185239319196493noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181958559864532643.post-20562691814294143472010-08-10T09:25:00.003-04:002010-08-13T16:37:55.549-04:00Geotagging in PicassaLove this video on how to create geotags for your photos.
