    Hi,

    I've got a CD of content from a Cub Scout conference - mainly PowerPoint presentations. I'd like to upload the presentations to our pack site (running WordPress of course) and make them available for download. Is there a plugin or some technique that will allow me to display the files nicely, or should I just upload all the files using the "Add Media" button and add links to the files using "Insert" button?

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Hi,

    You just need to create a zip format of your contents..upload it on wordpress blog...and give that zip file link to that download button...

    That's it!

    Thanks,

    You can just do this:
    1. Pack all your presentations in a zip file (say myfiles.zip)
    2. Upload the zip file on your webserver (say in a directory called ppt)
    3. Add a new post, and switch to HTML interface
    4. Use this HTML tag
    <a href = "http://--Your blog name--/ppt/myfiles.zip> View our Powerpoint Presentations here </a>

    Thanks,
    Siddharth
