Putting a link to a PDF file on your blog is easy, but this does not have the appeal of having the file right there for your readers to see. Many readers would prefer to view the file on your blog rather than download it. Displaying a PDF file on your blog is a lot easier than you probably think. In fact, it is no more difficult than embedding other media in your blog.

o    1

1.    Sign up for a PDF document sharing account. (E.g. Scribd, www. Scribd.com)

Only a couple websites offer free services which specialize in hosting PDF files online. Fortunately, they are fast and easy to sign up for, requiring no more than a valid address.

o    2

Upload your PDF file. Click the "Upload" button. Find the PDF file that you wish to upload on your computer. Click "Select."

o    3

Enter file information. You will be prompted to enter information about the PDF file you have just uploaded. A title will already be generated based on the name of the file, but you can change it here if you like. You can also select categories and tags to make it easier for other users to find the document on the service, generating traffic back to your blog. Enter a description of the document and tags. Save the file so that you can access it later.

o    4

Open your document. After uploading, go your full library of documents. Click on the document that you wish to embed to open it.
