Hi everyone!

I have yet again come across another dilemma. As some of you know, i use pixelpost to run my foodblog, riceandnoodles.

I have designed a pdf ebook of recipes with photos which (a bit like a cookbook but in e-format) i would like for anyone interested, to download.

Now for the question, would anyone know a way for me to put this on my blog? Like a download page or something? or click to download?

As usual, i would greatly appreciate your help.

THANKS in advance!

Put it on your server, edit some of your template files and add link to it right there.

Thanks for the prompt reply GeoS!

Is it as easy as that? Whereabouts in my server do i put it? In my photos? How about the passwords, etc? Will i need to give out my password to my server?

Please would you be a bit more detailed? :)

Well, you can upload it through FTP on your server. You need a username and password for doing this.

Make for instance a folder named pdf and place the pdf there. Word of advice: try to avoid spaces in the filename.

The download link can be something like:

<a href="http://YOURDOMAIN/pdf/FILENAME.pdf" alt="Download PDF">Download E-book (PDF)</a>


Put this code in the templates file and you've got a link to the PDF
