  I have been using word press for half a year now, everything was going great, and I have been uploading images with out any problems, but suddenly a week ago I got this error message every time I attempted to upload my usual images. It will only allow me to upload tiny, blurry images. PLEASE tell me what to do!

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

  I see a bunch of 2.5 Mb pictures. Those be large for the web – you have might have exceeded your 3.Gb initial storage allocation – check your media library allocation – either in Dashboard >> Home or Dashboard >> Media – see if you have any space left.

  You might need to buy a space upgrade

  Large pictures slow down site loading times and upset visitors and waste space since you large pictures will not fit on a screen – waste of file space. You should scale your pictures for the web, not for a gallery show
