File upload /download now works

[chrisesposito]

After logging in, you should see a `Downloads' link in the center of the navigation bar across the top. This will take you to an area of the site where you can download files already there (I uploaded one as a test), or upload some of your own. At this point, the following general file types / suffixes are allowed: zip rar tar gz xls doc txt pdf.

The following image file types can be uploaded: jpg jpeg jpg2 gif png

These lists can be easily extended if there is a file or image type you need but don't see.

Even though you can upload image files, there isn't any photo gallery support - I'll work on that next weekend.

Hey Chris,

This is great. Can we also add GPX files to the list - or should I just zip them to add them?

[chrisesposito]

Done. You can upload either the raw gpx files or zip them up if they're big, whichever you like.

Andrew, that should work, as .xls is in the list of supported file types. Let me know if you have any problems. To get started, the `Downloads' link is squarely in the center of the top navigation bar in between `Calendar' and `New Posts'. Click this link, then click `Add' to add a file to the downloads area.
