How do I include a downloadable file

[VirginiaJim]

I've no clue how to do this. I just started a new web site with a free host, geocities, and dunno if such hosts even allow such files. I want to offer an audio file for downloading. I've tried researching the subject, but don't know what terms to use and haven't found anything of value. I'm a novice; an old one, but still a novice who knows what HTML is but has done only a couple simple things with it. Can you point me in the right direction? A FAQ would be great, or tutorial location, or example.

Thanks.

You'll have to check with Geocities to see if they allow you to upload .zip files to your account. If you can, zip your audio file and then configure this code to insert on your download page:

<a href="http://www.yourwebhost.com/filename.filetype">Download Audio File</a>

I made a slight mistake. The code to configure is:
