Blogineering

One thing that new bloggers usually worry is file of storage. WordPress.com for instance, as of this writing, only gives 3GB of storage, so if you are storing heavy graphics or video files, you’re probably be out of space after a while.

Worry no more because there are a lot of  free line storage sites that you can use. Here are some of the most popular storage sites used by bloggers on the web:

1. YouTube. You can store your video files on YouTube.  Although there is a limit in the file size of upload, I haven’t heard of Youtube limiting to the number of videos uploaded. Salman Khan of Khan academy have uploaded more than 2100 video files, so if Youtube has a storage limit, it’s probably very large.
2. Google Docs. Google Docs offers more than 7GB of storage, and 1GB for storing documents. If you are just storing office files with no drawings or pictures, then Google Docs is more than enough.
3. Amazon Cloud Drive. Amazon Cloud Drive is the newest storage in town. You can store up to 5GB of photos, videos, and document files.
4. Scribd, Issuu, and Slideshare.  These three services are some of the online services that you can store your files. Scribd and Issuu are document storage, while Slideshare is used to store presentation files.
5. Dropbox. Dropbox is another excellent free storage  file.  Dropbox allows you to store up to 2GB of your files on multiple computers by synchronizing your file.
6. Windows Skydrive. Windows Skydrive offers 25GB of file storage. Files in Skydrive can be made public, private, or can be shared.

Files in Youtube, Scribd, and Slideshare can be embedded directly in a WordPress.com and Blogger blog posts, while Issuu can be embedded in hosted WordPress blogs.
