  I have used up all my space but have only had my (free) site for 6 months. I know plenty of others who have had their wordpress blogs for well over a year and have never ran out of space. Can I fix this??

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

  That can happen especially of you choose to upload lots of oversized images. And, these days that’s what many bloggers are doing.

  Have you exhausted your free media upload space allocation?

  Check here http://mylittletablespoon.com/wp-admin/upload.php to confirm how much space you have used.

  Images you upload into your media library and embed into posts and pages are on wordpress.COM servers. They remain visible unless or until you delete them from your media library. Doing that removes them from every place you embedded them in the blog and leaves behind broken links.

  Images you link to on other sites are not on wordpress.com servers, and can disappear if they are removed at the source from the servers they are on.

  Is there a way I can compress the images that I have already uploaded in the blog?
