Can someone tell me how to set up a blog to offer free svgs?

Post by Mominct »

I see blogs, but I dont see/undersatnd how to upload svg files.

Can someone recommend one to me? and simple instructions on how to attach a svg file to a post? I have 100's to offer that I've made and I practice every night so I'm getting better :)

I'd prefer one that people can join or a mailing list type thing so I can send an email each week with quite a few and also post them on my blog for people to find

Thanks!
Lots of cute, paper piecing files on my blog - all free!

Hi,

I'm no expert but here's what I did. Both of the sites I use are "free" for the basic package which is all I need at this time.

I went to Blogspot.com and created a Blog there following the instructions (which are not great). It took some time to figure out how to do it but over the past 6 months or so I've gotten better at adding and subtracting things.

I discovered that you could not attach .svg files within blogspot.com so I went to 4shared.com and uploaded the svg files I wanted to share. They give you a link to the files which you add to your blog you can add a .jpg picture of the file within blogspot.

I cannot tell you anymore than this but maybe it will spark a dialog of more folks trying to do what you want.

Good Luck, and I'll keep watching to see who else chimes in.

I do know that blogger (blogspot) does not support direct uploads/downloads. I have been working on this same issue for a while! I am working on my own website where I can upload files and share them directly from there. I have also used 4 shared and it worked well.

Like Susan, I also use blogspot and 4shared, seems to be the simplest way to go, easy to grab the link and link a word in your blog for the svg and share. Let us know your blog when you get it up and running and Good luck with it all :) Cheers Kris
Check out my blog for free svgs ....Enjoy :) Kris

Love your BLOG...so many neat things.

I'd kill for the 3 column format, well not exactly but you know what I mean. I just can't seem to find a template that works.

You've done a great job!

OH I did find a link on your sight for the 3 column template. I've been working on it for an hour and almost have it "fixed" the way I want it.
