How to Upload a PDF File, then Link to It
Sometimes we want to upload an external media file such as a PDF file, or another type of file, then link to the file from within a blog post or a web page on our web site.
A good example of this would be if we wanted to create a Custom Order Form for our site visitors to print out. Another example might be that we want to link to a PDF E-Book so our site visitors can download it directly from our web site.
Here is the process to upload a file, then link to it from within a blog post:
1. Upload the file under Media – Add New
2. After Uploading, Copy the URL (location) of the file.
3. Create a new post
4. Link from within the post to the URL (location) of the file (step 2 above.)
