How to Upload VCF to WordPress
A VCF file is also known as a vCard file, and is identified by the extentions .vcf and .vcard. These files are essentially online business cards, and contain contact information such as name, address, phone number and email address. The purpose of the file is to easily import a person's contact details into communications programs like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Address Book, and vCardOrganizer. The WordPress Media Library allows you to upload your VCF to your blog, and easily attach it to your posts.
