    I don’t understand it at all, I want to test writing blogs for the first time, but everytime I search for it online for help “Filezilla”, “FTP” etc. comes up. Like…. why? I don’t get it at all

    I only want to upload a small HTML file on my blog, but I can’t. .pdf is possible, pictures are possible, but .html doesn’t work?

    Is what I want really that complicated?

    Please provide the address for your website. There are 2 versions of WordPress and in order to provide correct answers we need to know which version you are using.

    We provide support for WordPress sites that are hosted here in the managed environment of WordPress.com. Sites hosted elsewhere but using WordPress software are supported over at WordPress.org. Here we do not use FTP.

    See this support document for more information – or simply provide your site address and we can determine where it is hosted.

    Since we are in a managed community environment, the use of HTML here has some limitations.

    When you write either a post or a page, you can choose to edit your content in the visual editor or in the HTML or text editor.
    See this support document:

    One way to test whether you can use the HTML you have is to open the post editor and choose the HTML (may be called text) mode, paste your HTML. Publish it and see what renders and what does not.
