Even more Space in 2012

To celebrate the New Year we decided to offer you more space for your precious media.

Our previous space upgrade levels have been increased without any additional cost for you as follows:

  • 5GB → 10GB
  • 15GB → 25GB
  • 25GB → 50GB
  • 50GB → 100GB
  • 100GB → 200GB

If you already subscribed to one or more of these upgrades ( yes, they are cumulative ), your total available space has been automatically updated as you can see in your Media Library.

If you don’t have a Space Upgrade yet, or need to add more, the new levels have been implemented in the Store section of your dashboard.

The Space Upgrade of course gives you more space to store your photos, and docs, but it also enables you to upload audio files, which makes it perfect for podcasts, MP3s, or any audio format.

We don’t even limit your bandwidth, and we’ll keep your files as long as your blog exists.

If you want to learn more about these upgrades, feel free to visit our space upgrades support page.

But wait, there’s more…

For those of you with a private blog, we lifted the previous limit of 35 users allowed to access it. From now on, you can add as many authorized users as you wish, from the Settings → Privacy section of the dashboard.

We hope you’ll enjoy these new features, and we wish you and your WordPress.com site all the best for 2012!

    I’m relatively new to WordPress, but find it attractive, effective, and almost effortless, though I use the many tutorial videos available. For all that and the additional space I am grateful.

    More than that I’m heartened by the many positive comments in response to your announcement of ‘even more space in 2012.’ Pretty classy people compared to those who more than often leave heedless and thankless comments of response.

As I explore every possible bell and whistle of my WordPress blogosphere, I grow helpless to resist the inevitable gravitational pull to your massive professional upgrade. Oh yes, I am your demographic, baby, and am damn proud to say so.
