    I have just one thing to say about that, “Glorp!”

    (It’s sort of like “Oy!”, but with spilled brains involved.)

    Man – That’s an amazing increase. Now I just have to think about how I can fill my 3GB up… ;)

    Great God!!! How do you people do this! You know you have really done a great service to many of us Third-World bloggers, who really can’t afford a paid service but have so many things to tell and show? :)
    I love you, Matt and WordPress; talking about ardent devotees, you people know you have us!

    Thats great news, in this day and age of online videos and other account clogging files, space is a commodity and 3GB is plenty. Thanks!

    Sweet! I don’t use WordPress.com (prefer to use my own hosting and such) but I know a few people who have been on the fence – and I think this may push them to use WordPress.com rather than Xanga, Facebook and/or LiveJournal.

    Good job!

    Wow, a big step for WordPress! And for free!

    Automattic is starting to steamroll the competition.

    Hey Matt,

    This brings up an interesting question – I’ve tried to find an RSS/Atom feed I could subscribe to for WordPress news for quite some time, and haven’t ever been able to find it.

    Looks like you’re blogging the news, but the feed seems to be missing.

    Any ideas? :)

    Now if that doesn’t keep WordPress.com growing in popularity (as it still is) I don’t know what will. Nice move Matt!

    The feed for WordPress.com news should be here:

    Hang on, does this have a limit on the size per file?

    wow! , but we need more ;-)

    There’s no code limit, but there’s an effective server limit currently of about 90MB. That may be upped in the next week or so.

    Very cool Matt. Now if we can just get you to move that back end file storage off of S3 and over to Layered Tech’s grid-based DynaVol it would be completely awesome. :-)

    This is nice, although I also want to know, are the users also provided with ftp access? When I used WordPress some 6 months back, I didn’t find such facilities, so I couldn’t experiment with various plugins the way I would have liked to, so I went ahead and created my own separate blog by buying a webhosting and using wordpress there, here I have much better control :) .
    The overall experience has surely been a great one :)
