    Hello,

    Could you please tell me how I create a url that directs people to a particular part of the website, eg. http://www.333arts.net/mediarelease to direct them directly to a media release.

    Thank you.

    Hi Michael, When you publish a Page or a Post, a URL is immediately created. If you create a Page called “Media Release,” then you will have created this URL:

    http://www.333arts.net/Media-Release

    That link can be used anywhere online to direct readers to that Page.

    You can also upload a PDF of a media release. Once it’s in your Media Gallery, you can use its Permalink as a URL for visitors to view the document.

    I hope this helps. If you want to use this link in a different manner, please let me know your specific needs and I can be of assistance. Thanks!

    Hello,

    Thank you.

    What’s the difference between a Page and a Post?

    I don’t understand this bit of your answer: “Once it’s in your Media Gallery, you can use its Permalink as a URL for visitors to view the document”.

    When something is put into the Media Gallery does it automatically have a Permalink? Where, what is the Permalink?

    In your answer, praps you could include “For example …” (giving a practical, real-life example.)

    Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    Take a peek at the link below. It describes the difference between a Page and a Post and how you can make the best use of them both:

    Pages vs. Posts

    When something is put into the Media Gallery does it automatically have a Permalink? Where, what is the Permalink?

    Exactly. Everytime you load a media file (image, video, sound, pdf) into your Media Library, it is given a Permalink and a File URL.

    For example, this is one of your site’s Permalinks:

    http://333arts.net/2014/03/29/pergolesi-stabat-mater-castlemaine-christ-church-good-friday-april-18-3-pm-2/headpic-3

    And this is the File URL of the same image:

    One appears embedded into your website, the other appears on a blank page.

    You can use either type of link to guide your readers to view an uploaded file.

    I think the following guide will help you. It is designed to assist new users in gaining knowledge about how to use their WordPress.com site:

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks much.
