I want to add my bag pattern to my blog, I have turned the pattern into a pdf file but can't for the life of me work out how to put it into the side bar of my blog

any help would be more than welcome
thanks

I'd love to know how to do that too. Smile

You need to load it onto a server somewhere I think so that others can access it. Do you have somewhere you can 'store it'? http://www.joedolson.com/blogger/upload_file.php

You can't do it directly but here is a link with some ideas for how to get round it;

The process is similar to linking to a picture via a picture host.

Chrissy - I haven't used blogspot so I don't know exactly how it works for that. Gilraen is right - you need to store the file somewhere. Can you upload files onto blogspot? You then just need to add a link in your 'sidebar' (I imagine just like you did for your shop link) with the 'url' of the file as the link - i.e. http://brightdyes.blogspot.com/myfile.pdf Shout if you get stuck - happy to help!

Apparently not with blogspot as the link I posted stated.

THis is the file host suggestedin the article I posted

http://savefile.com/

It is just like using photobucket but for other types of files.

WOO HOO I think I may have done it, thanks so much, I really don't know what I would do without you lot.

I used the hosts that jacquie suggested, thanks so much sharon for the offer, if I fall out with these I will give you a yell.

thanks again the pattern is now available on my blog, he he
