lynda.com allows you to embed your Certificates of completion in a blog post or web page - sort of.

In reality, you can embed a certificate image that links to all your certificates. Not quite the same thing, but close enough.

Here is an example:


















Click on the above image to see my certificates (only one at the time of this post). This is more secure and much harder to spoof, as all the actual images for each certificate are stored on lynda.com.

The queue is a way way to build a list of courses for later play.

To add a course to your queue, look for the symbol:

It is available nearly everywhere a course title is listed.

Click the plus button to add the course to your queue. The plus button then becomes a checkmark.

Click the down arrow to see a pop-up menu.

You can also add a course to the queue here, or you can add a course to the top of your queue. You can also go to your queue from here.

You may also access your queue via the my courses pull-down menu near the top of the screen.


To learn more, you can view an introductory video to the queue at http://blog.lynda.com/2012/02/09/introducing-new-lynda-com-queue/. Enjoy!
