Google Spreadsheets:

For those who would like to create and share spreadsheets with users, we now have a way of doing just that.

First create a spreadsheet in google, or copy an existing excel spreadsheet over to google documents.
http://docs.google.com - free service for creating/sharing files. You just need a google login (or gmail account).

Step 1.) Create Your Spreadsheet -

Step 2.) Publish The Document
go to "file" > "publish"
You will get a new popup menu like below.

Click "Start Publishing"

After clicking "start publishing", a new window will pop up. Click close on that new popup. Nothing needs done with that info.

Step 3.) Edit The Share Settings - Top Right Button

Step 6.) Paste The "key=" Code In Your Post With These "Tags" Below

The code copied from google needs to be inserted into "gss" tags. See image below for example

Follow that ^ example and you'll have a working spreadsheet that members can all see.

Just a heads up, it did not work with just these steps. I had to go into File>Publish To Web. After that there is a check box to auto publish upon changing it, check that and hit Publish in the window and you should be good to go!
