HELP
Once again, I need the help of the techies out there. I am trying to post here the essay by Professors Andrew Kliman and Alan Freeman and Mr. Chris Byron but I cannot figure out how to do it. It is in a pdf file, and they wish me not to convert it to a text file, because something might get changed in the conversion and they do not want to have to proofread the whole thing. Fair enough. But I cannot seem to upload the pdf file into my blog. When I try copying and pasting it, all hell breaks loose. Blogger will not let me upload it as an image, because it is in the wrong format. I can certainly post a link to the essay, which they have put up on their site, Marxist-Humanist Initiatives. Here it is. So you can go there to read it. But I really want to post it on this site, because I figure that gives a greater chance of everyone actually reading it. While I am writing my response [which I am about to begin], can anyone make a suggestion as to how I can get the pdf file onto this site?
Perhaps this link might be useful?

Bob, That link is full of Google specific froufrou. I think something simple will work, though Blogger won't let me put it into a comment! I think you, as Blogger-in-Chief can put this code in. In order to post without rejection I've changed the initial less-than character to a $, ditto the final greater-than. Just take everything after the $, prepend a less-than sign, change the ultimate $ to greater-than sign and, maybe, Bob's your uncle (so to speak).
