New Space Upgrades
Is your Media Library feeling crowded? I’m betting our new space upgrade levels might help.
Based on feedback we received from our users, we decided to add two new space upgrade options: 50GB and 100GB.
To access either of these upgrade levels, go to your blog’s dashboard and click on Upgrades. Select the space upgrade that you want to purchase. It’s super simple. Price information is included on this page, too.
After your purchase is complete, go to your Media Library. You will see that the upload space remaining for your blog has been increased. Enjoy!
You might be asking yourself “Why do I need a space upgrade?”
Our space upgrades support page can explain it better, but space upgrades allow you to upload music in addition to images. You cannot upload audio files or music without the space upgrade.

Not bad, I highly doubt anyone will get that far in there media library. The prices are absurd (50GB $159.97 — 100GB $289.97). Sure yes its the cloud but a new HD for $280 is almost 2TB.

Price Price We don’t want any price. In Blogspot you can add Weather,Radio,and Google widgets and Themes from HTML or XHTML in WordPress you can’t do anything!!!!!! If we wan’t anything extra you will have money.No Please add the widgets functions we want first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So fix your problems with widgets first before you screaming about PRICE!

I want to post home videos once in a blue moon, and so I have to upgrade, right? Will the space you described above – that was difficult for me to interpret as well – support mini-movies?
BTW, I LOVE the Twenty Ten template and created what I think is a nice, clean, AND me look for my blog.
Yet, another question/comment. I wish there was an easier way to change my blogaddress w/o having to delete my blog and start all over.
Since I’m “on spray,” here is another query: I want to publish my first year’s blogs into a hard copy volume. Any suggested sites where I can do this.
AND, I have a feeling you’re going to tell me to post questions somewhere else as this is a COMMENT/REPLY window, and please MOVE ON. Right?
Thanks for listening, anyway. Renae

To post movies, you probably want the VideoPress upgrade.
For the other queries, you should contact support. They’re really nice!

Upgrades are great, but the downloads “exports” from the blogs are still not working and timing out. When are you guys going to fix those and include the “google search” so that archives can be retrieved. The current “search” stinks.

Re:- “You cannot upload audio files or music without the space upgrade.”
Is that because you don’t think we’d have enough room or you won’t permit it? Not that I want to, just curious, as I reckon I have enough space for a few small audio files. An mp3 track, for example would be about, what, half a meg?
Could you clarify please.

Not being a huge multimedia blog, it will be *years* before I come anywhere close to using up the free 3G of space that WordPress.com offers. It’s cool that people who need it know it will be there for them when the time comes.

Adding music might be nice, but I think for those upgrade prices that it just makes way more sense to upload images/videos elsewhere (like Flickr, Youtube) and embed them into posts… Anymore, I think the people that need that kind of space already have cheaper ways of getting it.

I’ve been using wordpress because it’s what I was first introduced to – and was hyped as being great. Unfortunately – a lot of what I’m seeing leaves me disappointed. The themes available (for example) are dismal in comparison to Blogger – which allows you to plug in any theme you want, edit CSS, etc. for free – rather than being stuck with what’s on a list (it’s nice to see recent improvements there, but there’s still a lot of room for growth). Of course, this is what I hear from friends who use the service – I have yet to test it out for myself. I’m beginning to wonder what the hype is about.
I like the program, but there seem to be a lot of restrictions unless I want to start paying. I feel like we’re being nickel and dimed for what other blogging programs provide for free.
I hope there can be some improvements there.
