Documenting documents with the Document Gallery

You have lots and lots of information that you want to impart to your Web
site visitors. However, you might be concerned that adding too much text to
your site will make it appear cluttered and hard to read. A simple solution is
to upload informational documents that your visitors can download at their
discretion. For example, you might want to include your company brochure
and price list in PDF format. Or you might want to offer an executable file to
update software if you are a software developer.

Here’s all you need to do to upload a file and then make it available to the
public at large:

  1. Click WebSite in the Navigation bar of your Office Live Home page. The Page Manager opens.
  2. Click Document Gallery on the Page Manager Navigation bar. The Document Gallery page opens, as shown in Figure 5-16.
  3. Click Upload on the toolbar of the Document Gallery. The Document Uploader page opens; see Figure 5-17.
  4. Click Browse to locate the file you want to add, and then click Add. The document appears in the documents list on the bottom portion of the Document Uploader. You can continue to add more documents if you’d like.
  5. Select the documents to be added, and then click Upload.

Uploading your files might take a moment or two depending on the number and size of files you are trying to upload. The Document Uploader closes and you land with a thump back in the Document Gallery (fortunately, the thump won’t hurt!).

After you upload documents to the Document Gallery, you can create a hyperlink to them anywhere on your site. Not sure how to create a hyperlink?
Turn to the “Getting hyper about hyperlinks” section.
