  Luckily you don’t have to know what a widget is to do this :-)

  Inserting a document is similar to adding an image: In you post editor, click on the Add Media button. Follow the instructions to upload the document to your media library and insert into post. A link to the document will appear and if anyone clicks on it they should get the option to open or to download the document. See full instructions here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  If you haven’t yet, you might also want to work through the “Learn WordPress” support doc (http://learn.wordpress.com/) and the “Video Quick Start” tutorial (http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/). There they cover all the basics you need to know, including widgets and adding media to your posts/pages.
