So when I Posted my excel assignment #2 as a PDF on my WordPress Blog It put it as a link that you can click on to see the PDF. Is there a way to embed it right in the blog so that you open the blog you see the PDF? Or is this link on the blog an acceptable way of posting our assignment?
Hi Dylan. Thanks for posting this question. Linking to PDF is fine. Cheers, JH
