   Hey all, I was wondering if there is was a way to embed photos on to my blog. I'm at wordpress.com obviously, not .org so is there anyway I can do this?

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

   Of course you can. Please follow the support documentation instructions for uploading images. What's important is optimizing and presizing all images to fit into the blogging space of your theme and/or your sidebar, prior to uploading them. When the cropper comes into play image quality is lost, images are distorted.

   I don't mean uploading though. I mean taking an embed code and putting it in my blog.

   Will you please post this embed code here so we can look at it and help you? In order for it to completely display here please post it between backticks ` which are not to be confused with single quote marks. The backtick is found in lower case on the same key as the tilde~ to the immediate left of the number 1 key on your keyboard.

   I'm sorry but that's exactly what I thought it might be. That's not an image code that's an iframe code, and for security reasons we cannot embed iframes into free Hosted WordPress.com blogs.

   Ahh, ok. Do they work on WordPress.org?

   Yes. In that situation if you post a bad code into your own self-hosted WordPress.org install the only site at risk is your own. That's unlike here where we are all blogging on the same multiuser blogging platform and a single instance of bad code could bring down many blogs.
