[nabs-l] Web site and cloud question

[Joshua Lester]

I hate Dropbox, because the links don't stay live very long!
Your best bet is to put those reports on a blog, and then put the link to the blog on your Website.
BTW, please send me a link to your Website so I can view it myself!
Thanks, Joshua

Hi NABS,

I could be totally ignorant here, but I have a question about what I
might be able to do using DropBox as a place to store files for my web
site.  I am required to maintain a professional web site for marketing
purposes and am graded on it once a semester in my jurries, (AKA,
music major exams).  One of the requirements for a larger exam meant
to see if I have been making adequate progress that I'll have to take
in early march is to put any analytical papers about pieces I've
listened to or performances I've attended on my site.

Pasting the text of these papers into the text boxes will look really
tacky, not to mention less academic.  I was thinking of putting a link
to a dropbox folder on the site with instructing viewers to click on
it to access the files.  E.G, Click the link below to access Kaiti's
Performance Reports and Listening Logs:  Dropbox link to a folder
entitled "Reports".

The last time I coppied a link to a folder the link did not work
propperly.  I put it in an email so I could share music with two
people, and the second person to get the email was not able to access
the link because it died after the first person used it.  I need the
link to stay live for many uses, as several professors will be looking
at it in this one exam and will look at it again in the future.  Once
it is up there, I'd rather not deal with changing the link if I don't
have to and just add files to the folder as needed.

So, I'm wondering what did I do wrong?  Should it work fine?  Is there
anything I need to specifically do to make this happen?

Thanks for any advice.
