  Is there a way for me to add a zip file to my “media library” so that I can allow visitors to download that zip?

  The zip will be a zipped Visual Studio project and accompanies one of my technical posts.

  Thanks

  Hi there – Yes, you can do this, but you need a Space Upgrade:

  Did you say .zip files?
  I don’t find them here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/

  @eurello
  Does that support entry need updating?

  It says it under Audio: “With the purchase of a Space Upgrade you are also permitted to upload zip files and the following audio file types, in addition to the basic file types listed above:”

  It’s not super clear, though, I’ll add it to the list above.

  Thanks for pointing that out and for adding .zip files to the list.
