Blogger How-To: Uploading Attachments on Blogger Using Google Hosting



Last week, a question was asked in the comments section. I was asked if there is a way to upload file attachments to Blogger posts. Unfortunately, only picture and video files can be uploaded into a Blogger post. However, you can use your Google account as a third-party host. Linking to this host will allow your readers to download and view your files.

For step-by-step instructions on how to include attachments through third-party hosting, see the links below.

This link, from doncaprio.com, discusses file hosting in broad terms and then covers step-by-step Google hosting.

This link, from techzain.com, is a concise set of instructions for Google hosting, without the broader explanation.

I hope these links are useful. As always, email me or post a comment with any questions you have.

Happy blogging!
