  Hi,

  I’ve set up a new page on our website containing links to PDFs of interviews with some historians using “File” block type. You can see it at:

  https://dlhg.org.uk/speakers/

  It works, but it’s ugly

  In version 2, I’ve used Buttons and linked to PDFs on my One Drive through a URL file share. You can see it here:

  https://dlhg.org.uk/some-of-our-speakers-v2/

  It works, but is clunky

  There must be a better way …. any ideas?

  Thanks!

  Garry

  You could get a free ‘download’ icon (or any icon you like!) on websites such as flaticon and link the pdf that way:
  https://www.flaticon.com/search?word=download

  And if your not sure how to add a link to an image, the support page shows how here:

  Hope that helps!
