 * Hello. Quick question – I’m trying to create a link to an article I’ve written,
   which I’ve saved in pdf. form. I uploaded it to my server, but when I use the
   WordPress “links” option and try to link to it, I keep getting error messages.
   How can I create a link to this article in my sidebar?
 * My website is mccoying.com, if that helps answer the question.

 * What is the error message? Perhaps you simply attempted to link to the incorrect
   location.

 * “The page cannot be found.”
    I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I uploaded the
   document to my server, and I just want to link up to it.

 * Where did you upload it and what is the link to the file, and where on your site
   are you trying to link to the PDF?

 * Try typing the URL directly into your browser address bar and make sure that 
   you have the right URL.

 * You can try using a plugin that handles attaching files [http://gordon.knoppe.net/articles/category/attach-files/](http://gordon.knoppe.net/articles/category/attach-files/)
