How do I include a PDF file in a post? I would like to create a link to the file so that readers can download it. I have already uploaded it to my FTP site (Comcast) but need to know what to do from there.

If your host site allows unfettered access to the general population, then you would add a link to it like any other page. This tutorial shows how to do that.

Tom,

I have tried to set this as a normal "link" (something I do all the time) but the link takes you to my storage area and allows you access to editing my storage area and homepage (not good). There must be some trick to this?




Click here <---EXAMPLE

Right mouse click on the example link above and look at the properties and in particular the area where it states "Enter the complete URL for the link". When you are doing your post, click on the make link icon and you will need to have something similar to what I have in my example where it states "Enter the complete URL for the link". Of course you would have the path to YOUR .pdf file.
