There’s no known issue I am aware of.
In order to help you we need to know your specific computing environment details. Please work through what follows and report back.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

4. You can use this link to see if your flash is up to date. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If it’s not then go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and download and install the latest version of flash.
5. Try using another browser.
6. If you are not successful let us know:
(a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
(b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/
(c) Exactly what you experience including what any error reports you receive state. -
The issue is that I have tried on 6 different machines, across 3 different operating systems. In all 6, the media link has not worked while THE POLL AND CONTACT LINK HAVE. I believe there must be a WordPress coding issue.

Hi there,
Can you describe to me what exactly happens when you click on the “Add Media” button? I tried to recreate the problem on your blog but was unable to. When did this problem pop up? Can you kindly share with me a screenshot of what you’re seeing?
Here’s an animated screenshot of me adding an image to a blog post of yours:
Looking forward to your reply! Thank you.
Andrew D.
