Embedding material in blogs has progressed further than video and images.
Using a service like Embedit.in it's possible to place a whole range of documents like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pdfs and web pages directly into your post. Like the one above. You can make documents downloadable too. You can change the embed size as well as making it available as a link rather than an embed.
I have also used the mark up function. This lets you add notes to the document or website and these are visible too on the embedded version.
I don't know if the embeds are actually live. Now that would be awesome!
Embeds can be kept private or made public. I recently used the service to embed a document in the Uni's VLE. Previewed it - and it was fine. The students couldn't see the embed, I'd forgotten to check the public option. Idiot.
