Uploading files to blogs

Blogger does not have any direct feature to upload and share files (other than images). For PDF and PPT files I would recommend using slideshare.

For other files, you need to use an online storage service which allows access through blogs.

In the previous post, I've used the service of Box.net.
Create an account, upload files. Go to the services tab, and add export to blogs service. Currently it supports WordPress, Blogger and LiveJournal. Then right click on the uploaded file, you'll find an option to export the file to these sites.

In case of Blogger, just enter your blogger username and password, and the name of the post. In case you have multiple blogs, it itself decides which blog to post to.

Note: Even if there exists a post with the name you entered there, Box.net will create a new post with the name provided. So you should start by uploading and exporting files for your post, and edit that post to add your contents.
