Yes, to make it so's the pdf can be read or downloaded from myspace,
with an icon to draw attention ot its pdf nature if possible. I don't
quite understand your reply but I will log-on t myspace and see if
itmakes more sense. I have made enough sense of the code toput a
standalone mp3 player on my page and meddle with the layout, but I
don't really know what all the code means, etc. Where am actually
meant to put the pdf file - I don't have another website for it.
Could I put it in an email attachment in my account and have it
extracted by visitors to myspace from there, or would email account
security measures prevent this? As myspace is mostly for bozos they
don't have a normal way of uploading pdfs or my task would be simpler.
