The __Bad News__ is that you cannot upload MS documents to your blog for others to view.

Many services allow you to upload and store documents online. Adobe offers a whole new level of functionality. You don’t need any particular software to view the file(s) and each document you upload is assigned a unique URL. With a simple click on a link on your Blog, viewers may have direct access to your PDF document. It’s a very simple and easy process!
