Due to a number of requests by readers to make several white papers on the topic of Open Source Software (OSS) available, I have created a File Download Section on this Blog. After taking a couple of WordPress Plugins for a test run I settled for one called “Drain Hole“.
Drain Hole is a centralized download manager, with full monitoring and statistics, versioning, SVN support, and SEO download URLs (no more nasty query strings!).
In addition to it’s monitoring abilities, Drain Hole has a run-time tag replacement feature that lets you embed special tags in your post which are replaced with information from Drain Hole. For example, you can embed download URLs, version information, last update times, and so on. Whenever you change a downloadable file it is automatically updated throughout your blog, without you needing to change anything else.
Click on the menu item “Downloads” (at the top of this screen) and you will be presented with a list of files.
