Upload a file and link to it

Sometimes, you may want to upload a file and then provide a link to the file on the page. For example, you may want to let others be able to download an MS Word document you’ve written, or download a pdf file.

First, open the page that will contain the link; either create a new page, or open an existing page for editing.

Next, click on the location in the page where you want the link to be placed, and scroll down to the “Upload” tab:

Click “Browse”, and select the file you wish to put on the web, and click “upload”. Please keep the files small (less than 200K) to keep web traffic to a manageable minimum.

Next, select the file options:

When you click “send to editor”, a link will appear on the page where you placed the cursor.

Save the page, and view it on the web. Click on the link to make sure it works.
