Can someone help me figure out how to create a link in html for a pdf file stored on my computer, so can add it to my sidebar ?

If you mean like this, file:\Users\George\AppData\Local\Temp\Contemporary Schools of Inside Painting - Part 1.pdf

That will not work..  

Any chance you would be able to upload the pdf's (via an ftp client) off my computer to your service provider, then provide me with the url's  ?

I do not have any kind of webpage or anything that I can ftp files to a service provider.

Never mind... That will work any way, since I am not able to connect to an FTP server myself..

Maybe it is asking a bit much SMF, but any chance I can email you the two pdf's, then ask you to save them to your computer and then ftp from your computer to your server provider, and provide me with both url's ?
