Publishing things on your blog: The technique

There are plenty of things you can publish on your blog, most kind of files are allowed and if you are a bit creative you can end up with a nice piece of work.
The technique to upload files and publish them on your blog is nearly always the same one. First you find a place where to host your file and you register or sign up. Once you are a registered user, you have to log in or sign in with your email and password every time you access the hosting page (so, please, don't forget to write down every detail!)
Once you have logged in, you can upload the file. The hosting page will ask you to examine your folders in your computer and select the file to upload. Then, you will have to fill in some details -such as kind of text, content, file type, ...- and tags for the file, so it can be found by other people. And finally you'll upload the file.
Once the file is uploaded, there are different ways you can share it with your friends and other people on the Internet. Very often the hosting page offers you an easy way to send it by email or publish it on places such as Facebook, Myspace, ..., but to make it simple, I would say that there are two things you can do: copy the link or embed the code. If you copy the link on your blog or website, people on clicking on the link will access your hosting page. If you copy the embed code, the file will be published on your blog, and that's what I recommend.
So, once you have uploaded the file, fill in the details and look for the embed code. Copy the embed code and go to your blog. Create a new post, write something if you want to, leave some space and paste the embed code. Put some labels to your post, publish it and go to view blog to see if the file has been correctly published.
