WordPress 2.7 Tips

Saw this fabulous article at Noupe.com and learned a thing or two about the new WordPress 2.7 that I had missed! (Okay, so what I don’t know could fill a book).

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.
