Posting documents

When you post a document, it is not automatically added to your blog as a blog entry. In order to access the document, you'll need to use the URL assigned to it. If you do want the document to be accessible from your blog, you can blog the document's URL as you would an article.

Posted documents are displayed in your browser, but generally not within your blog, i.e. not in blog format.

Using your Blog to host a document

3.	Click the Upload button. The file is added to the list of files and directories in the File Manager.

Once you've uploaded and named the file, the document can be accessed using your blog URL and the filename, for example http://exampleblog.blog.com/testpage.html

Viewing the document and identifying its URL

To open the document in your browser (if that file format is supported by your browser), click the filename in the Name column. The document opens; note that it is not in blog format. Copy the URL from your browser's address bar to access the document later.

Posting documents to your blog

How your document is posted depends on its file type. For example, if you want to post a .jpg file, the .jpg image will be added as a photo entry. If you want to post a file whose type cannot be viewed in a web browser, the document's URL will be added to your blog as an entry.

1.	Follow the steps above to upload the file.

2.	Once the file has been uploaded and named, click the Blog This icon to post it to your blog.

3.	Type a title for the blog entry in the Article Title field, and paste or type any additional content in the Article Body area.

4.	Click the Save button.
