   You can see exactly how much pace you have used and what remains here > Dashboard > Medial Library
   All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. If you need more space you can purchase a Space Upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

   ...or you csn register a new blog / account, call it sannamkstorage.wordpress.com and fill it up with your stuff. Then, when that's full, register sannamkstorage2.wordpress.com and so on and so on...

   Hi there,
   This blog looks to new to me to have exhausted the space allowed for media so that's why I flagged the thread for Staff attention when I posted above.

   Hello there. Happy Halloween.

   Instead of paying for a space upgrade, they could just create a separate storage account... upload media / photos there, get the URL, link it to the new post on the old blog. It works the same as having a YouTube, PhotoBucket or Flickr account.

   Free WordPress storage space is actually nearly infinite... I don't know why anyone would pay for the upgrade.

   I agree that's what could be done but I do want Staff to take a look at the blog and confirm whether or not there really is a "space problem" first.

   Hi sannamk,

   I see that you're using 5.7 MB out of 3.0 GB in your Media Library. Are you referring to sannamk.wordpress.com or another blog URL?

   Are you able to upload an image directly to your Media Library (outside of a post) in Media -> Add New?
