I dont know if this is the right forum to put it in, but i want to put something onto my website so that anyone can download it. How would i do this?

<a href="path/file.ext">Download Me</a>

You mean like that? You can link to any file and make it downloadable :)

so i would link it just like i would a regular webpage, except instead of a .htm it would be like a .zip type of thing

You got it :)
