The process for uploading files differs depending on the Web server you use, but generally speaking there should be some kind of an "Upload" button on your screen. Once the file is uploaded, your server should be able to provide you with a URL for the file. Copy this URL. For this example, assume the URL is "http://www.mywebsite.com/events/January/reception.ics."

<a href="/links/?u=http://www.mywebsite.com/events/January/reception.ics">Add Reception to Your Calendar</a>
Replace "http://www.mywebsite.com/events/January/reception.ics" with the actual URL for the file and replace "Add Reception to Your Calendar" with the actual text you want to appear on the link. - 5). Publish the page.
