Hey!
So I am fairly new to blogging - but I am starting a new crafting/toy blog for little boys - as a mother of two of them.
I have created free printable Cards - that I can't seem to figure out how to let anyone download them. From the Wix support pages, I can see that with the new Blog - it is not possible to add a document download button to a Blog Post Page - but does anyone here have a decent work around for this?
For this - would it make more sense for me to just create pages dedicated to these types of posts? I just need an idea here - because I am stuck on this one thing. And when I'm stuck I can't move one!
I am able to add Elements (that document download button) to a post, when I am viewing it in the editor - but then those documents show up on every one of my posts. Help? Anyone!!
I have lots of docs, and I put them on other pages in the site (you aren't restricted to just your blog page!). Create a page just for your cards. On that page put a text line or container box that says "Download Craft1 here", then a photo, then the element button to download the printable doc. Repeat on a new line/box for the next doc. etc.
Then when you do the blog post, you include a text link to that page, or the appropriate spot(anchor) on the page. (e.g. "You can download a printable card for this craft by clicking here!") When your readers click on the link, it brings them back to the download page.
If your doc page gets too long, make another page and divide by date or by categories (fabric craft page, paper craft page, painting page?) It's also kind of nice in that you end up with your doc page(s) being a nice orderly gallery of your work that people can come back to and browse.
That's just an idea, there may be a better way. (There is probably some way to do it with a code block, but that's a relatively recent capability that I don't have the skills for.)
