By the way, I might have just figured out a good way of handling static links with Google Drive. Apparently, when I created the pdf version of Pro Git Reedited 2nd Edition (which I did on a Dropbox folder) I didn't wait long enough for the creation process to complete (I think that was the problem but I'm not 100% sure). Anyway, as a result, the pdf version didn't have any images in it. After fooling around for a while, I was able to create a pdf that did contain the images but I was worried that uploading it to Google Drive would change the URL, as we had discussed. However, the "Manage Versions ..." option on Google Drive let me upload a new version of the file *without* changing the share URL! Assuming I wasn't hallucinating, this will be a great way to update both the pdf and the HTML versions as they change in the future. Jon
