  What would happen if I post images in WP.com, but display it in other non-WP.com site. Basically I am just utilizing its free bandwidth.
  Then what if I paid for it, e.g. (space upgrade) feature, etc.

  If you later set your blog to private, though, all those pictures become unavailable to other sites, so be aware of that.

  Thanks for the fast reply.
  Well, I know how to link and upload.

  I just worried that my images will be deleted if I utilize too much of WP.com bandwidth.

  The blog is not visible to search engine, but still accessible to other site. Tested and it works.
