Oh yeah. Day 3. My weightloss site is still not live yet. That makes me a little nervous. But then I remember it’s the weekend, and the site will go live on Monday. (I hope!).
Anyway, looking over some of the forums at MoreNiche (Click on my first blogroll link to find out about them), found some VERY good advice for using WordPress: Don’t use ADs of any kind.
Now of course, I should have known that….and I would have known that, except in my zeal, I didn’t think to find out if the free version of WP would ban the use of ads. But, if you look in their FAQs, it’s right there in black and white. So that’s my tip to you, today: Always look at the FAQs and TOS of any free blogging company you choose to use.
Now, you might want to stamp your feet and say “No Fair!” and “What about the First Amendment?! They’re infringing on my free speech!!!” But it’s completely fair. They’re being very generous letting us use up their bandwidth at no cost to us, and they can tell us what we can put on our blogs and what we can’t.
If you want to put ads and stuff on a blog, you’re gonna have to buy a domain name, find a hosting company that supports your chosen blog application (like wordpres or typepad) and host your blog yourself. Luckily, domain names are cheap and so is hosting. So go get to it!
As for me, I gotta go purchase another domain name so I can blog about getting back in the biz and put as many ads as I want up on it!
