- I believe the transition timing is in the second icon but I may be wrong. Check the other icons if it is not in the first.

- I want each slide to be on screen for 10 seconds

- I want each transition between the slides to be different. You CANNOT use the same transition throughout the project.

- you also need to make sure that each slide is set to change automatically and not "on click"

- once you have changed all of these things, save your project in keynote.

- now export your project as a QuickTime movie file. Go to the "Share" tab at the top of the program in order to export to Quicktime.


NOW POST THE MOVIE TO YOUTUBE AND THEN TO YOUR BLOG

- go to www.youtube.com and log in to the school's channel.
