  I am trying to get a page to open a pdf directly by way of a sidebar link. Is this possible in wordpress? I want my resume to be easily accessible, one click off my main page.

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

  Hi there,

  You could save it to your media gallery (but keep in mind this isn’t really what the media gallery is for; nonetheless you can try it), then link it using the Text Widget:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

  Other options would be uploading your resume to another sharing site and linking to it using that Text Widget, or signing up for About.Me (https://about.me/), and adding the About.Me Widget:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/about-me/

  (I have an About.Me page, and I really like the flexibility and options, so that’s a disclaimer :))

  Does that help you, or are you looking to do something else entirely?

  Cheers!
