  I am trying to add an image to a page, but no matter what file type or size I try to upload I get the same error message indicating the file type can’t be uploaded for “security reasons”. I’m only trying jpg or jpeg files as small as 240 kb.

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

  That http://03b8fbb.netsolhost.com/ site is not hosted by WordPress.COM. Our support docs do not apply to it. We cannot help you as we do not provide support for any blogs that are not hosted by WordPress.COM.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support forums. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
