Some friends in Yahoo community asked me how to add PowerPoint slideshow to Yahoo! 360 blog. I am interested in this topic and made my own Yahoo! 360 blog to explore how it works.
See my Yahoo! 360 page here: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-mJKvqYw9crMAH8d9Nmi3dSY-?cq=1&p=1
I like this feature of Yahoo! that gives users free choices of lots of Blog interface.
After testing the codes supported by yahoo 360 blog, I found this solution about how to embed PowerPoint slideshow to Yahoo! 360 blog.

If you have already uploaded your PowerPoint .swf flash to a web space or upload PowerPoint mpeg video to YouTube.
Copy your .swf flash URL to below" your flash swf or YouTube URL". You can customize the width and height.
<embed src="your flash swf or YouTube URL" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
Then insert the code to your "my 360 page" in the html edit mode.
