Wordpress Lesson: Creating a Download Link in a Post
Today the question was "How do I create a download link so I can include a document in my post?" And I want to thank Robin Messenheimer who asks the BEST questions!
This short tutorial will assume that you have the Wordpress plug-in FCKeditor (which I include with all Wordpress installations that I do). FCKeditor replaces the standard Wordpress editor with an awesome "MS Word" type editor.
Follow the step-by-step, matching the numbered step in the photo below.
- Type the word that you want to link (by the way, it also works with a photo) and then ’select’ (or highlight) it.
- Click the "Link" icon and a menu will pop-up
- Click the "Upload" tab and then "Browse" to find the document you wish to have be the download
- Click "Send it to the Server" and wait until you get the confirmation… do NOT click "Send it to the Server" multiple times, or you will corrupt the file.

Make a PDF from almost any document
Do you want to share a flyer or a newsletter that you created in Publisher or Printshop or another application that isn’t widely distributed and worse–can only be read in the application? Perhaps you have created a Word document, but you’ve used fancy fonts and you want the photos and text to display exactly as you’ve created it… well you are in luck! (more…)
Post-dating a post (in Wordpress 2.5+)
You are going away… to convention or cruise (shouldn’t we all…) and want to still post while you are gone. How about a series of posts? It’s very easy!
When you are creating a post, you may not have noticed, but in the right hand column (under Preview this Post) there is a "Publish Status" area and a choice "Publish Immediately" and EDIT (which is a link)… see first screenshot. When you click "Edit" you will get a date/time menu that you can choose.
REMEMBER: Your date/time must be properly set in >Dashboard >Settings > Also, you must click "Publish" (it will remain a draft until you hit publish).
