   When I try to upload a picture I get "Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons." What are the requirements for a picture? Is there a list of "Thou shall nots"

   The blog I need help with is startupthingy.wordpress.com.

   Hello there,
   A quick search of support documentation for "images" produced the answer for you:

   Uploading Images
   You can upload the following image types to a post or page on your WordPress.com blog by using the Add an Image icon found within your visual editor:

   .jpg/.jpeg
   .gif
   .png

   Notes: Images should be saved in RGB mode, and you will see the best results if you use the sRGB color profile. Animated gifs will not display unless they are displayed at 100% full size. To only upload an image to your blog’s Media Library (and not attach it to a specific post/page), use Media -> Add New in your dashboard.http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/
