Blogger gives you the options when it comes to multimedia content but Blogger doesn't supply every demand. There are several websites that can help you provide content to readers. Youtube is probably the first site that comes to mind because of the ease with which you can upload and embed videos.
If you embed a Youtube video, insert a slug line directly below the video to let readers know exactly what they're watching. If you want to show readers more than one video, post the first and link to the others. If you're uploading your own video, click options, disable related videos and enable delayed cookies.
Box.net providers users with a free account and the capability to share audio files. When you upload an audio file on Box, you have the option of linking readers to it in the form of a podcast. Readers can even download the file.
Scribd.com works in a similar fashion to Box.net. Scribd allows you to embed documents onto your blog as a viewable PDF. Readers even have the option of reading the document on full screen without having to download it.
Soundslides can be a useful tool but difficult to embed if your new to the software. I've written a how-to post on Soundslides, read it if you're having difficulty. Soundslides embeds like a Youtube or Blogger video and lets you sync pictures with audio in a sort of slideshow format. Try to keep your Soundslides under two minutes in length.
