  Hi! I’m writing a statistics blog, and I would like to add a link to a ‘.do’ file (a Stata do file). It doesn’t seem to be a listed as a supported file type. Anyone know what I can do to link to this file type from my posts?

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

  @danbrown90 I don’t believe you can upload .do files to our servers (see more info here), but if you upload them somewhere else (like to Dropbox) you could link to the file.

  It would not embed, and it would look like a regular link, but it should work for a direct link.

  If that doesn’t work for you, can you send a link to an example of how you’d like them to be displayed, so we can look for options?

  Hi Supernovia,

  Ok no worries – thanks for your reply! Will look into using dropbox!
