unidentifiable phrasal verb :-)
Hi,
Please take a look at this sentence:
Well, Esther is going to give us some knitting pictures and links to put up on the site if you want to find out more.
Q1: Please note the words in bold/italics. There is no such a phrasal verb in my Cambridge International Dictionary of phrasal verbs.... to put up on smth ? Looks like I am missing the actual meaning?..
Q2. Suppose to put up on an Internet site is close enough in meaning to 'get access to a site'. What other similar expressions do you think will do in this context?
(a) to connect to a site
(b) to get access to a site
(c) to hitch up to a site (?)
Your help would be appreciated

In this usage, "put up on" is not meant to indicate gaining access to the site. It is meant to indicate that the pictures and links will be uploaded to the site for all to see. I suspect that the origin of this is from physical bulletin boards and placards, which are said to be put up on the wall.
