Because that’s not a wordpress URL. Should also be something like:
The space may also be causing an issue. Note that it’s getting translated into

So then, I can only upload through the wordpress dashboard? This means that MP3’s are definately out I suppose. If I want to upload and link large files like mp3’s and videos I would need another host?

For reference: What filetypes can I upload?
I’m actually trying to figure out how that URL that you link to came to be.
Usually videos are hosted with Google, Grouper, or Youtube and videos from those resources can be embedded within your posts. (example) You can link to them hosted elsewhere but not have them embedded into your posts as security concerns come into play. mp3s can be with Odeo. Or you can link to them like you do in this post.
You can grab a copy of the wordpress software from wordpress.org and find yourself a host and do what you pretty much what you want. Since this is a shared environment, if security fails for your blog, you put at risk everybody else here.

Just a quick background so you’ll understand that url. I had a blogger blog where I hosted mp3s. I got BlueHost so I could host the mp3s and some images. A friend of mine turned me onto wordpress and set up the blog using my BlueHost account. This morning when I wanted to post an mp3 I went to my c-panel and uploaded the mp3. This is when I became aware of the problem. In other words, I had blankforever.com long before I wordpress but now it appears that since I had the blog done through blankforever.com, the way I used upload is out.

What I’m looking at though is when I click on that link is that I get the wp.com bar along the top so I’m assuming (I know, I know) that the blog is hosted here at wp.com.
I understand now. You were probably uploading either via FTP or directly via CPanel and just linking manually. We’re actually using a program called WordPress MultiUser and the files are set up differently than regular WordPress. The end users (that’s you and I) have no access to the files or file structure and the PHP is actually shared amound the users. The only space that you have for yourself
Yes, the way you were using links and uploading files is out. You have to do the uploading via the file uploader found within the backend. That’s the only space that you have. WPMU is more restrictive in regards to uploading since it’s a shared environment here and if someone was able to gain access to the core files, then they would have access to everybody’s blogs. It’s more secure since more checks are put into place but we as end users loose some of the advantages like being able to edit themes and whatnot.
The Read me first at teh head of teh forums has more information but it’s more of a general guide between the two different software.
Hope this helps,
