Great job!!!
Plugin works as promised. Can insert into any article.
Any drawbacks are on the Slidebloom side of the equation. When you upload your slideshow, Slidebloom conversion lengthens it anywhere from 2x-4x in length. Uploaded a 28 sec slide show, it converted to 1:40.
Thanks for the good work here. It's a real time saver -- also avoids the YouTube mess entirely.

Ditto to the previous comment. I could really use this plugin if it would allow me to show private presentations on a site i am developing for non-public project. Too bad.

See reply below: it is a lack of functionality of slideboom.com NOT the plugin!
(But, in their favure: it make sence that they do not allow passwords in the embedded code...)

Good product and works as advertised. Only problems is you have to make your presentations public in order to use it, meaning if you embed your presentation in your joomla site it can also be found and viewed by anyone directly on slideboom.com. This is partially how slideboom is set up. May have to upgrade to the pro version of slideboom to alleviate this issue. I was going to require user registration before viewing the slides, but that doesn't do much for you in this situation.
Otherwise good product and easy to set up and use. Easy to set up article to view presentation with simple tags.

You’re completely right! This is a 'lack of functionality' of slideboom.
However, if you generate a local flash file with their 'Free Powerpoint to Flash Converter', upload it to your website's server and publish it with one of many Joomla! flash viewers, you’ll have a 'private' presentation.
Not as nice when using my plugin... Thinking of that... I might include such an option in a future version!
