How do I add media; video to my blog?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello! If you have a free WordPress.com plan you can’t directly add video to your blog. You will have to upgrade to a Premium plan in order to do that. See the differences in plans here:

You can however embed videos into posts or pages. Here’s a link on popular video services you can do that with and more general instructions on embedding videos:

Hope that helps!

Yes thankyou. I now have another problem, a first for this one, I pasted into my patstoryart blog and it halved in size over the full sized one. I deleted the offending ‘paste’ but it’s still the same. It is also the same on all my blogs. How do I solve this???

Sorry can you explain in more detail what you are pasting and what should be full sized? I’m trying to understand what is not working.

The video embeds that WordPress.com supports for all blogs hosted here – no upgrade required are found here.

The VideoPress upgrade include in the Premium upgrade bundle allows you to upload videos from your computer for hosting and playback directly within your blog (or on another site you can designate).

If you have an issue then we need to know exactly what the source of the video is and what the URL is to provide specific instructions.
