How do I attach files to my pages?

You can add an attachment to a page, allowing anyone who visits that page to download it. To add an attachment, click on the 'Add attachment' link in the 'More Tools' dropdown menu at the top of the page. If you do not see the link, check to make sure that you are signed in to the site.
Add attachment option in page tools
The "Add Attachment" dialog will appear.
Add Attachment

On this dialog, you can find the attachment you want to add and write a brief description about it. When finished, click the "Add Attachment" button and your file will be uploaded to the site.

Note: Attachments cannot exceed 2MB, and there is a limit of 40 attachments per site which means you have a maximum of 80MB per site. If that limit is reached and you cannot add an attachment, you can free up space by viewing a list of all attachments on the site to remove any that are no longer needed. To view all attachments click on the "What's New" tab, then click on the "Attachments" tab.

FAQ

Q: Why can't I attach a file?Three possible reasons
  1. You have not signed in. Only a site's registered users may upload files, and the "Attach a file" link will not appear in the page toolbox until you've signed in. Signing up for a site is free, of course.
  2. Another possibility is that the site's creator has set the contribution permissions to "Only people I invite." In that case, you must be a writer on the site to upload files. Ask a moderator for permission.
  3. The site has reached its maximum number of attachments. Remove some old files to free up space.

Q: How many files can we add to our Wetpaint site?
You can have 40 file attachments total.

Q: Is there a size limit for files?Yes. Each file can be up to 2MB.

Q: What types of files can we upload?Any type that you want, so long as you have the legal right to distribute the file. Uploading copyrighted material is a big no-no, according to Wetpaint's Terms of Use.

Q: What can I do if I need more file storage space?There are many useful third party file storage services on the web. Some, like box.net, can even be embedded on your site as a widget.

Can we please get a 5mb attachment size limit? I publish an E-magazine here that sometimes runs over 2mb - usually compressing the photos in ms.ppt works, but alas my Oct 2011 issue is 4mb so need another place on-line to share - please wetpaint respond.

Honestly, i started a wetpaint website, and i haven't been able to put really good videos on the site, because of the limit of videos memory. 500k? You should upload that to 500mb. That would get a lot of peoples' attention, and then they will make websites. I hate that short limit.
