posting pdf’s–post picture instead of text
-
I know how to add photos and pdf files to my blog. Whenever I add a .pdf file, it just shows up as text (that I can’t edit). Is it possible for me to have it show up as a photo instead?
Thanks!

thank you–that did the trick…one last question now. Is it possible to control the size of the image that it links to? I’d like to have thumbnail size, and it’s showing up bigger than that.

Sure – by adding the width attribute:
<a href="URL_OF_PDF_HERE" target="_blank"><img src="URL_OF_IMAGE_HERE" width="NUMBER_HERE" /></a>
Number represents width in pixels. To get oriented as to what number might be appropriate, in case pixels don’t mean much to you: your sidebar is 193 px wide.Of course another way would be scaling down a copy of your image in an image editing application, and uploading that copy. (You get better image quality this way, but that’s probably of no importance in the case of a thumbnail link.)
