Note: Administrators of your system can apply disk space quotas to your blogs. When this is done, if you exceed the amount of space you may use, you will receive a message indicating that you have exceeded the maximum allowed disk space when adding new content to your blog. In this case, you may have to permanently delete some entries from your blog in order to add the new content.
