Greetings!
We now offer the ability to upload 100MB of files to your account. You can insert pictures into your entries, attach videos, pdfs, documents, audio files and more.
We spent the morning looking at the various file types one can upload to a server. We have most of the common ones now, jpg, gif, avi, xls, doc, etc. I was asked how come you have to check each file type uploaded? For example, many sites lets you upload any type of file.
We have to add what is called a mime type for each file so we know which application it uses to load. Though many sites let you upload files, our site lets you view them, send them as email attachments and become part of the pdf. So, we check for what the file extension is when you upload and match it up to the correct mime type. The application we match to the file lets you download the file and view it properly.
