  Hi there,

  All sites on WordPress.com come with 3GB free storage for media files, but it looks like you’ve used up all of the free storage available on your site.

  Before you’ll be able to upload new files, you’ll either need to delete some files to free up space (this will also remove the pictures from any posts where you’ve used them), or else you can increase your storage space by upgrading to any of our paid plans.

  Going forward, you can also consider optimizing your images before uploading them to your site. I see you’ve been uploading images 3000px wide, with file sizes up to 4MB per image. But your theme displays images at most 1280px wide. If you even resize your images to just 1500px, that will bring the file size down to well under 1MB, which would make your storage space last much longer.

  Let me know if you have any questions about this.
