  Is there feature which, for a fee, a blogger (me) could post any video that is in the Internet? There are a lot of videos that are not ones, apparently, that WordPress supports. I thought that there was a way to pay to get the ability to put any of those videos on my blog, but now I went back to check under Premium Features, and they mention only a person’s own videos rather than videos that are found within articles.

  Is there such a feature??

  Hi. This page, which you probably read, summarizes very well how you can post videos on WordPress.com.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  The upgrade you are talking about is called VideoPress and it’s intended for your own videos. And even then, you can publish your own videos on another site, like YouTube, and embed them on your WordPress.com for free.

  To my knowledge, the easiest way to post a video that is already on the Internet and that is not part of the sites appearing on the “Videos” page above is with VodPod. (From the page above, click on the “VodPod” link.) This is free of charge.

  Does that answer your question?
