Portfolio Question 1

With the blog and the podcast i saved the html webpages but i found that the embedded flash and youtube clips on my blog are gone.
It shows up that they are missing and when you click on the links they try to link to the net.Is there a way to fix this or does it matter once the menu links to the page ie. blog page.

If you have afile.ext with an absolute address to another file e.g. http://www.somwdomain.com/anotherfile.ext
then when you put afile.ext on the CD it will of course link to the web. If that is what you want to do that's fine.

However,
If you have afile.ext with an relative address to another file e.g. anotherfile.ext
then when you put afile.ext on the CD it will be looking for anotherfile.ext in the same folder as afile.ext on the CD

You should aim to have as much content on the CD as possible - hence use relative links whenever possible.

It doesn't make sense to put your wordpress website onto the CD, so make the link to your wordpress account absolute.
