Recently some of the contributors to the website have been asking to include PDF files in the articles they write.
PDFs are a great way to store non-editable records, such as event results or meeting minutes.
You might know I’m a big fan of Windows Live Writer (WLW) for making postings to the site easy… I’ve found a plugin that lets you attach a PDF to your article.
To add this plugin to your WLW, go to http://plugins.live.com/writer/detail/insert-file-plugin and download an install the plugin.
To add a PDF file choose Insert>Insert File Plugin and use the dialogue box to choose your file.
When finished, publish the post in the normal way!
Publishing the documents this way means the PDFs are stored on our website and should prevent any sharing or security issues.

The conditions were close to perfect being cool and almost calm with a clear sky. A low turnout of only 14 riders was reflective of the nationals hangover with the stellar performing, multiple medal winning juniors enjoying a well earned rest at home. A number of riders have switched to road mode and so we will have to wait until November to see them on the track again.
The programme tonight was made up of graded 5 lap warm up races and to make the most of the favourable conditions one lap time trials then team sprints and finished off with long handicap races.
