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.

and for the upgrade
May 15th at 12:36 am
WOW! Thanks a lot, guys!
May 15th at 12:50 am
Well that’s nice, now I just need some money…
May 15th at 1:02 am
Nice .
May 15th at 1:05 am
Nice. Thank you.
May 15th at 1:15 am
Thank you! another great thoughtful addition from WP.
May 15th at 1:51 am
sounds great dude. i dont need more space though but this will come in handy in about 2 years
May 15th at 1:52 am
What a Good Idea. Now we could add music without using another hosting’s service. It’ll be easier…
Keep da Good Work!
May 15th at 2:52 am
That is pretty awesome! You guys are constantly rolling out updates!
May 15th at 2:53 am
(sorry) FIRST securing permission FIRST. Can you?!
Which is very encouraging news for loyal users like me wordpress
May 15th at 3:09 am
good news
May 15th at 3:25 am
great.
May 15th at 3:32 am
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.
May 15th at 3:42 am
That’s good to know. Thanks for the update.
May 15th at 3:54 am
I’ll keep this in mind when I’m running out of space.
May 15th at 4:02 am
Wow, this is fantastic. Thank you, WordPress!

Awesome!!
May 15th at 4:27 am
Lol, you got funny cheeks. I don’t understand a word you just typed. But I’ll try it out.
May 15th at 5:08 am
great news!
May 15th at 5:12 am
yeah.. i need to upgrades my space
May 15th at 5:27 am
Awesome!
May 15th at 6:00 am
The space is great, although I don’t need it yet — I only upload small images and screenshots.
I was wondering, though — any chance of being able to create folders for our media?
May 15th at 6:13 am
must we pay for it?
hehehehe
May 15th at 6:15 am
Nice man . But, i’m still child . I don’t have fund !!!
May 15th at 6:58 am
Fantastic…Thanks Team!
May 15th at 7:14 am
Will keep in mind for the time that I run out of space..
May 15th at 7:49 am
Wow, this is fantastic. Thank you, WordPress!
May 15th at 8:07 am
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!
Is Money all for WordPress????? Shame on WordPress !!!!!!!!!
May 15th at 8:09 am
Yupiiii
Thanks !
May 15th at 8:55 am
Thank you for this useful information
May 15th at 9:00 am
Wonderful. Have been waiting for something like this for a long time. It’s great for those of us who publish a lot of multi-media on our sites. Thanks so much!
May 15th at 9:28 am
cool 100 gb but i have a little-big problem im out of money XD
May 15th at 9:48 am
Haven’t used up most of the free usage yet but thanks for letting us know!
May 15th at 11:14 am
sweet
May 15th at 11:43 am
For audio you can integrate some nice youtube videos if you add some pics to the sound
May 15th at 11:49 am
Just when you think you have enough space, you don’t and now there’s an option to make sure you don’t run out. It’s like closets and cupboards – you can always use more room! Thanks guys.
May 15th at 12:00 pm
Merci
May 15th at 3:05 pm
Nice! I think I might have to consider that once my library gets bigger… but that’s huge!
May 15th at 4:16 pm
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
May 17th at 4:26 am
To post movies, you probably want the VideoPress upgrade.
For the other queries, you should contact support. They’re really nice!
May 15th at 4:23 pm
great…thanks wp
May 15th at 4:31 pm
Thanks dude!
May 15th at 5:51 pm
Very cool. I will keep this in mind.
May 15th at 5:53 pm
How nice!!
May 15th at 6:03 pm
this should be good, as i’m adding atleasst 2 pictures in every post i do!
May 15th at 6:18 pm
Good to know when my space starts running out. Thanks!
May 15th at 7:28 pm
I love the extreme!
May 15th at 9:29 pm
Wunderbar!
May 15th at 9:32 pm
I want to add one audio file. Why should I pay for it 20 bucks a year?
May 15th at 11:44 pm
Will this space upgrade expire every year as the others do?
May 16th at 11:40 pm
Yes, just like the other space upgrades.
May 16th at 2:54 am
Great !!
May 16th at 3:47 am
This sound great news and thanks for the update
May 16th at 6:21 am
Why dont you people increase the space available by default to something like 20 GB or atleast a tenner??
That would be wonderful.
May 16th at 6:48 am
Great, this one’s cool!
May 16th at 7:03 am
Siiipp… Thanks a lot
May 16th at 7:15 am
For me Its not so much space that I need need for our media library but the ability to put content into separate folders would be a great addition that way images that are used repeatedly can be easily found .
May 17th at 4:27 am
Try using the search feature in the media library.
May 16th at 8:08 am
That’s really awesome! Thanks : )
May 16th at 3:34 pm
Mhh! Yea GOOD!
May 16th at 3:51 pm
Thanks, Dude
May 16th at 5:48 pm
Woot Woot
May 17th at 8:43 am
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.
May 17th at 9:02 am
100GB for a blog? I just started but I would not know how to come close to that
May 17th at 11:56 am
great but I don’t have the money!
May 17th at 12:52 pm
We will switch over to WordPress.org over the next month. We will miss this nice and friendly Community for sure.
May 17th at 1:03 pm
Awesome! Since I plan to add pictures to my blog, this is a welcome upgrade. And music, too…. Think of the possibilities….
May 17th at 4:55 pm
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.
May 17th at 6:31 pm
Option to add music with space upgrade is enticing. Thanks.
May 17th at 7:14 pm
I thought I didn’t want space upgrades, but now that I clicked this link I’m thinking about it so that I can post audio files and the like and subject my readers to some dodgy looped tracks I knocked up on Garage Band. Sold!….
May 17th at 7:14 pm
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.
Happy blogging!
May 17th at 10:59 pm
awesome! I don’t use it really cause I mostly post form URL but its nice to know!
May 18th at 5:05 am
Ah, now all I need to do is to rob a bank somewhere. You go guys!!!!
May 18th at 7:15 am
I still have more than 95% of free space
!
May 18th at 3:48 pm
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.
May 18th at 7:32 pm
ty so much i plan to add music to my blog and also more photos soo ty soo muchhhhhhhhhhhhh
May 18th at 9:04 pm
oh, I thought you have given more space to free accounts, when are you going to do that?
May 20th at 3:46 am
One thing about WordPress.com, you can have 100 GB of media files and the speed of your site will always be the same: fast!
May 20th at 2:00 pm
Neat’o… I like it – I want to use this feature.
May 20th at 11:04 pm
Wow! This is really cool! B)
May 20th at 11:05 pm
Sweet this upgrade is awesome!
May 20th at 11:58 pm
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.
May 21st at 9:21 am
thanks indeed
it’s quite usefull to me ,as i want to send some medias somedays ago
May 21st at 10:20 am
Great!
May 21st at 11:12 am

May 21st at 6:03 pm
Thank you Brian !
May 23rd at 8:54 am
i wish i had enough money
May 23rd at 10:04 am
WordPress is the best, but with this service even better!! Great, thanks a lot!
May 23rd at 12:55 pm
Options, options, options. Love having choices
!
May 24th at 3:24 pm
I must collect the money first! ^__^
May 26th at 6:34 pm
I look forward to needing that much space. I’m just starting out.
May 27th at 1:25 am
