  I set up a blog to allow my students to post their projects and see them. Now, however, for some reason I cannot see the content or download their pdfs! The links clearly show in the admin view as pdfs, but there is no option to download anywhere in sight! I need to download, burn a dvd and forward fragments of their pdfs – any ideas…?

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

  We can’t help without a link to your blog, starting with http.

  Here it is:

  and here is an example of a pdf I seem unable to download:

  Many thanks for helping me with this! It’s probably just my ignorance, not any technical problem.

  I see the link to the file in your most recent post. Depending on your browser, to download it, just click on it OR you right-click and select “open in new window” or “save as file.” It is, by the way, a HUGE file. 39 meg? But it downloads and opens just fine. You may be dealing with bandwith issues in your connection, or a browser issue.

  Many thanks, raincoaster!
  Yes, I tried to re-post it myself and to set my Mac to pretend it’s a PC… I tried opening in a new tab, but if it is 39Mbs I probably didn’t wait long enough.
  I’m going to try that right away!
  Cheers,
