  Ok I see the contact form but is there anyway I can get an upload button? There has got to be a way to put an upload button on a wordpress.com site, right?

  If you mean a button anyone can use to upload photo’s then the answer is no you can’t.

  In essence, nothing’s changed in that aspect since you last asked:

  That sucks. What about with that HTML that they have on this site. The different kind. Anyone know how to use it?

  “The different kind”

  Could you be more specific? Are you referring to the forum code that’s for use in forums? You don’t have a forum: you have a blog. And you can’t upload images to this forum anyway.

  No not the forum. You know how they WordPress has that other kind of HTML (sorry I’m new to this) that they tell you to use? Does anyone know how to use it? Like put an upload button using it?

  That’s not “another kind of HTML”. That’s just a list of HTML tags that you can use here. And as you can see, “input”, which is the tag that is necessary to upload a file, is not part of that list.

  If there was an easy solution to allow your visitors to upload pictures, we would have already given it to you.

  Ok thanks. Looks like I screwed up which website to put it on. Any way to transfer to wordpress.org without paying anything?

  The move is free – the hosting will cost you – you will also need a domain name – you will need to do all your own site maintenance or hire it done – it breaks you fix it – WordPress.ORG is the keepers of the software but they don’t host anything – they do have guidelines for hosts and how to set a blog up –

  If you intend to make a do-it-yourself move then this post may be helpful. It contains sage advice from thesacredpath and step by step instructions by me.
