I was not sure where to put this, but I know one of you lovely ladies will know how to help me! I have a link set up on my blog that is supposed to take the reader to the Mary Hidden in Advent summary chart. I originally had the chart on Scribd, but now that it is a subscription service, only people with accounts can access it. So I moved it to Google Docs, but some folks don't have Google accounts, either. Is there anywhere to put it so it is FREE and ACCESSIBLE? It's a .pdf file.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

Hi, Caroline,
I use Box.com to share files. It accepts PDF, MS Word formats, and maybe others (not sure, haven't checked). There is a free option up to a certain amount of Gb. I have a lot of things on there and have not run out of room yet. I don't know how it compares to Scribd for ease of use but it doesn't seem to crash my browser the way google docs sometimes does, and it formats better.
HTH! Willa
(you can see the features here)
Oh, and also I haven't ever had a reader complain about accessibility and my various files get downloaded or viewed a fair amount.

Just so you have another option, I use Acrobat.com. I like how I can organize the files I share there and group by genre, subject, etc. It's free for me and free for anyone viewing, but I do think that people have to sign up for an account (I'm not sure though???). Like Willa's option, my free account only allows me a limited amount of storage space - 2GB of storage. I find Adobe Acrobat "pretty" in terms of its readability (so a user can read first before they see if they'd like to print or just download...easily increasing the size for easier reading) and intuitive for a user if they want to print. I also find my side of their service pretty intuitive in terms of uploading a pdf, organizing, publishing, grabbing the link/url to the page.
Blogger is a little annoying in that you have to upload files with an independent service and can't just upload a pdf simply like a Wordpress blog would (I keep hoping that one day that will be available!). I've tried linking to google docs a few times but it always does a number on my formatting, isn't as intuitive to me in terms of navigation and frequently confuses my browser.
Here is an example of a document I recently uploaded and published to Acrobat so you can see what a reader would see if they came to an Acrobat link.
