  Hello!

  Is there any way I can upload zip files to my blog. They are less the 100 kbyte, but the filter doesn’t allow to apload zip files etc.

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

  Sorry, zip files are not one of the approved file types here.

  Accepted File Types

  You can upload it to one of the file sharing sites such as box.net for fileden and then link to it from your blog.

  I’m just assuming here, but I suspect the main reason zips can’t be uploaded is that someone could zip of malware or other files with virus’s and things like that.

  Thanks, thesacredpath.

  Yes, I understand the possible malware issues around zip files, but I want to share my software.
  I thought fileshare sites box.net are not quite good for that purpose, because the file is stored for a limited time, but it seems there are no time limitations.

  So thank you very much!
