Using/Linking to Files
When you go to your Files page (Main Menu > Files) you will see a list of any files you have uploaded to your File Manager. If you have not yet uploaded any files, refer to Adding a new File above. Your files in your File Manager are organized by title (the title you gave the file when you uploaded it). Next to each file you will see two options: "Get URL" and "Delete". To link to your uploaded files from anywhere in your blog (a blog entry or your template) click on "Get URL". A pop-up will appear with the direct link to your file. Copy this link and then click "OK".
Linking to a File in your blog entry:
Firstly click on Pages under Main Menu. You will see a listing of your blog pages. Click on the blog page name where you plan to make your entry. Now click on "Add Entry".
In the body of your blog entry simply paste the URL you copied (see above). If the file you are linking to is an image (as this is usually the case) you will need to use the following code for the image to show:
<img src="Paste the URL you copied here" border="0" />
If the files is something you want to link to, you will need to use this code:
<a target="_blank" href="Paste the URL you copied here">Link title goes here</a>
Linking to a File in your Advanced Template:
Click on Templates under Main Menu. Now click on, "Advanced" and then "Edit" next to whatever template you wish to add your file. You can add your File to any of the HTML areas (Template HTML, Entry HTML or Comment Stylesheet).
If the file you are linking to is an image (as this is usually the case) you will need to use the following code for the image to show:
<img src="Paste the URL you copied here" border="0" />
If the files is something you want to link to, you will need to use this code:
<a target="_blank" href="Paste the URL you copied here">Link title goes here</a>
Files can be added to your template in Advanced mode. They can not be added to Basic mode templates other than for background images.
Using a File as a background image in a Basic Template:
On Step 4 of basic template creation you will see the "File" icon next to both Background Image fields (one for the page, one for each component). If you click on this icon during template creation, a pop-up window will display your uploaded files. Click on any of the uploaded image files in your list and then click "Select" to use that file in your template. Should you ever wish to change your background image used in your template, simply upload a new image using "Files" and then edit your template and select the new image using the "File Chooser". If you are an advanced user, you can link to the files directly in your HTML and CSS.
