'How to' guide to uploading a word file to Blogger

Blogger doesn't allow you to directly upload word files but we can change the file into a JPEG to do it.

Here's how to do it:

'All Programs'
'Adobe Master Collection CS3'
'Adobe Acrobat Professional' click
'Create PDF' click
'Create PDF from a file' click
'Open' - browse to file and click on it
'File' click
'Save as' click
'Save as type' select 'JPEG'
'Save'
Go to blog
'New post'
Click on 'Insert image'
'Choose files' click
Browse for JPEG image and click on it
'Open' click
Click on uploaded file and 'Add selected'
Move image as required and use re-sizing options to make it bigger

WinFF video conversion software

WinFF is a useful conversion tool that allows you to convert video files to a type that your editing program will recognise.  Video files from your phone may need converting and it may also be necessary to convert HD files if your editing program does not support them.

Download WinFF here:

When you have the software, if you want to upload your video to Blogger, set convert to "Google" and the preset to "Google WebM Generic Fullscreen".  Choose an 'output folder' for the converted video to go to.  'Add' the video that you want to convert and then click 'convert'.

Shot duration

Editing (e.g. shot / reverse shot)
