16. Thank you for viewing my presentation on SlideShare!
This website was very helpful for me when writing the blogs
because I was able to upload the projects , i.e. roots tracing
and attributes and show them on blogger. The bonus is
seeing how many views you have!
This is a great website and I highly recommend it for easy
uploading and embedding and also using it as a research tool
for a project or paper.
