Web Files

In addition to publishing the pages of your weblog, you can also publish external "Web Files."

A Web File can be any type of file such as a web page, style sheet, image, zip file, etc.

To publish a Web File you must import it. To do so, right click on the Web Files directory in the My Sites hierarchy and select "Import... " from the context menu. An Open File dialog appears from which you can browse to, and select, the file you’d like to import.

The Web Files folder represents the base directory of the location of the weblog on the web server.

You can also create sub-subdirectories under the Web Files directory. When you publish the weblog, the subdirectories are also created on the web server. To create a sub-directory, right click on a folder under Web Files and select " New Web Folder..." from the context menu. A dialog asking you to enter a name for the folder appears. Enter the folder’s name and click OK.

Web Files are published only if they are newer, or have a more recent modified date, than the date of the last publish of the weblog. Whenever you edit, or import, a Web File it is guaranteed to be published.

If a Web File is a text or image file, it can normally be opened within Thingamablog. Text files are opened in the Template Editor, and image files are opened in Thingamablog’s Image Viewer.
