  What is the best way to link from a blog to an external file (weekly schedules and newsletters)?
  Does Dropbox or similar service work best, or is a public, static URL the best approach?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,
  See here please: Accepted file types http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  The following processes are outlined particularly for users who wish to upload a document and add its download link to a blog post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  If you want to embed the document itself into a post, then you will have to use a third party application like Scribd or Google Docs.
