How do you create a link to post PDFs to your blog from ‘Google Sites’?

Google Sites is the Google application that allows you to create web pages, but you have the option of sharing a file from Google Drive , be it PDF or other formats, in order to obtain an HTML link to insert it into other Google services. Learn how to do it as follows:

  1. Open the Google Drive app and upload your PDF file.
  2. Go to Google Sites and sign in with your account.
  3. When you click to create a new site regardless of whether you apply a template you will be able to use the ‘insert’ option.
  4. Use Google Drive to insert your PDF file.
  5. Publish the page to have our PDF file on Google Sites.
  6. Copy the link and paste it into a Blogger entry.
  7. You will notice that the link takes the name ‘Your name (google.com)’ which you can change to the name of your original PDF file.
  8. Publish your entry on Blogger and that’s it.

Also in Blogger or Google Sites you have the options to use templates, designs, colors, themes and any type of customization, in order to improve the visual appearance of the blog and the uploaded PDF file. Of course, from Google Drive it is also possible to create a link to an uploaded file to insert it directly into web pages.

What steps should you follow to insert the link created in a new article on your blog?

You can make a page on Google site and use the URL in order to embed it in a new Blogger post, also if you have generated an embed code with Google Drive, you can also use it in Blogger articles as follows:

  1. Locate the link to the Google site page with the PDF file added. (You can also select one from Google Drive).
  2. Copy the generated link either by pressing Ctrl + C or with the right mouse click.
  3. Go to Blogger and click ‘Create Post’.
  4. Click the link icon to insert your copied link.
  5. Paste the URL you copied and give it a name.
  6. Click on accept and that’s it.

You have the option of placing the link in any space of the entry that you want, all according to the design of your blog. It is even possible to insert the link in an image, so that the user can access the PDF view by clicking in the image.

How to check that the download link works correctly on your blog?

The best method to verify that the inserted link works is to open an incognito tab in order to see that the URL works correctly on the blog. You should know that by adding files, videos, and other Google items , users will have the option to preview, download, and perform almost anything but modify.

What other types of files can you share via Blogger?

In Blogger you can upload almost any type of files you want, and for those that are not displayed directly like PDFs, you can use external services like Google Drive or site , which users can still access without problems. It is also compatible with files from the Office package such as:

Word and PowerPoint

From the same platform, the option to insert images or videos is shown, either from YouTube or from the device. But in the case of Word or PowerPoint , an insert button is not shown, but you can use Google site or Drive to add it, using the same procedure for PDF files.

In the same way, you have the option of consulting Google technical support in the event that you have problems publishing a PDF file on your Blogger blog .
