Has anyone used the site stripgenerator.com? Have you used it in a course? I'd like to use the site, but I'm not sure how best to place the strips in a course (embed from stripgenerator.com, actually register on stripgenerator.com and work from the blog site they provide for you, etc.).
You know embedding an image from another site really isn't such a hot idea. It's better if you make a copy of the image, save it on your website and then simply link to the image in your web page or course. Many web sites explicitly tell you not to link images from their sites due to fact that this lowers their bandwidth.
Looks like stripgenerator offers both an embed and direct image links (click Share to find the links) so embedding is okay. To embed the image you would use Presenter's Web Objects:
I agree with James that it's better to save the image and insert directly into your course. First, it gives you far more control over the image. Second, you never know what will happen with stripgenerator - servers, business longevity, or server error that replaces your image with another?
