  I am using wp.com. I heard/read that I can only upload a link to a video but not a video which i might have it as a file in my local drive. my question is there any way to upload a video from my local drive? or i have to pay for this service? if I pay can i shared that with other blog, for example my friend’s blog? I am not doing it for commercial purpose but for educational. I want to learn how to upload a video from local drive. My whole idea using wordpress.com is to learn nothing else. thanks a lot.

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

  Yes, you can upload your own videos with a VideoPress upgrade: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/

  No, there are no educational discounts. I generally recommend you upload to YouTube anyway, and then embed that into your blog. It gives you a wider reach.
