Hi, just a quick question...

I've recently started a blog, and was wondering how I could link to my .Mac public folder. For example, I would like to be able to say "oh look how windy it is today" and then have a small .avi file in my public folder... What's the syntax I should use to link to it? I can't see anything about using .Mac public folder over HTTP in the .Mac help, just stuff about letting other users mount the drive...

Thanks

Hob

I *think* the link should be http://homepage.mac.com/hob/.Public/video.avi

Anything you put under your iDisk's Sites folder can be easily linked by hand.

For example, I have the file hq.jpg in my Sites folder, and its address is http://homepage.mac.com/imeowbot/hq.jpg . You can create subfolders under Sites and link to files in them as well.
