So I'm thinking of preparing the framework for what will hopefully be the blog for my conflict analysis ideas, but I've been trying to find a way to store and link PDF documents for quite some time now. Just a few weeks ago I had tried to incorporate links to PDFs stored in my Google Documents folder, to no avail, and there seemed to be some general consensus that it might not be possible for some time, or at least not to link directly to downloadable PDFs. However, I've come across another option that might work, and I'm testing out below:

Example:

Syllabus from Professor James Fearon's 2008-2009 Autumn Course at Stanford University:
Explaining Ethnic Violence and Civil War

Hopefully this works. Not quite sure what the limitations are on linking to PDFs through Google Documents, but this could be an awesome step for my conflict analysis clearinghouse project.
