  Is it possible for visitors to my blog to add videos or pics to their comments? Or does my blog have to be hosted outside of wordpress?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It is possible. If they post a link to the image or video (from a supported service like YouTube) on a line by itself it will render correctly in the post.

  Thanks. And what about videos that aren’t on youtube? Say, a video greeting they make using the camera on their computer? Most visitors won’t be saavy enough to post a video to Youtube. And it’d be nice to avoid that extra step.

  It would be possible for you to host videos like this on your website with the WordPress.com Premium upgrade, but there is no support for commenters to upload videos to your website.
