As always I have tried to explain each and everything in this post in such a way that it is easy for everyone to understand. If you have any doubt or didn't understand anything then please do comment in the comment box below and I will be glad to help you.

Actually I have written this post, for hosting SVG images on blogger. But that doesn't seem to work and I have converted the post to a simple file sharing post so that my work will not be wasted and help people who are in need of this post. I am hoping that this post has helped you with something.

Thank you. Have a nice day.😋
