Adding your own digital media content to blog posts isn’t hard and it does spice up your posts — providing more variety for your readers!

Let me show you how easy it is to create a PhotoPeach and add it to a blog post.

About PhotoPeach

PhotoPeach is probably one of the fastest and easiest ways of creating a story or quiz using photos.

It’s as simple as:

1. Uploading your photos
2. Adding music
3. Adding your captions.

Presto!  You’ve created a story that you can embed as a slideshow into your blog post.

Here’s Examples!

1. Look What’s Happening in Room 102! (Grade 2) PhotoPeaches:
   • What we learned about Owls – students researched and designed their owls
   • Working together to do maths – students learning about maths
2. Mrs. Nessman’s class (Grade 1)
   
   • The Mural has arrived – excellent example of using it to increase cultural awareness between collorabive classrooms in different countries

Below is a quick quiz I created with PhotoPeach:

How To Create A Quiz

Creating a PhotoPeach Quiz is really easy.

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Click on Edit once you’ve created your PhotoPeach
2. Then click on Edit Captions and Photos
3. Now click on each photo and then Quiz to add your questions
4. When finished click OK

Disabling Comments

As Linda Yollis points out you can’t moderate comments on PhotoPeach.

You can turn off comments (if your prefer) by:

1. Click on Edit once you’ve created your PhotoPeach
2. Then click on Manage Comments 
3. Change setting to Don’t allow comments 
   

How To Embed A Photo Peach

Embedding a PhotoPeach is the same as any other embed HTML code:

1. Completely write your post including adding title, text, images, tags and categories.
2. Click on Save Draft, previewed your post and make all necessary edits. 
3. Go to your completed PhotoPeach and hover your mouse over the PhotoPeach to bring up the menu items on the left hand side of the PhotoPeach.
4. Click on Embed in Blog.
5. Copy the Embed HTML code.
6. Click on HTML Tab on your blog post. 
7. Paste the embed code for your PhotoPeach into your post where you want it to appear then immediately click Publish
   • Don’t click back to Visual Tab before hitting Publish as it can break the embed code.
   • Immediately close your post once you’ve published.
   • Change back to Visual Editing mode when you write your next post by clicking on the Visual tab.
