Hour 20. Uploading Files in Movable Type

There's still one button in your weblog's administration interface that we haven't looked at yet, and I know you're just itching to click it: the Upload File button. Movable Type provides some really very nice options for uploading files to your server and linking them in to your weblog. Don't worry, we'll get to them all.

In this hour you will

  • Upload and link a file into a weblog entry, both manually and automatically

  • Embed uploaded images into entries

  • Create pop-up links to uploaded images

  • Generate smaller thumbnail images from the original uploaded image

But before you can click on that button we should cover some of the basics so you'll know what to expect. Oh, come on. You can hold out.
