  My name is AJ and I use wordpress as the main site for my comic. I chose to use wordpress because I don’t have any knowledge of code or writing html.

  After using wordpress for 2 years, I would like to do a little more with my site, but I’m not sure if I can.

  The main thing I am curious about, is if it is possible to sell merchandise through your wordpress site.
  I would also like to clean my site up a bit, is there anyway to only have one blog post appear on the homepage?
  Is it possible to sell ad space on your site?

  A few of these are very important for me, some not so much. I would like to stay with wordpress being that I have almost 2 years worth of comics on the site, but I also want my comic to grow and feel I need to implement some changes.

  Please help me to understand if I can continue with wordpress or will have to move on. Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The main thing I am curious about, is if it is possible to sell merchandise through your wordpress site.

  On free hosted WordPress.com blog we can use a contact form and/or a PayPal donation button for sale of only products or services personally created and/or personally provided by ourselves.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  If you do require an ecommerce site, advertising, affiliate links, paid or sponsored content you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org
  Refer to > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for a comparison

  Is it possible to sell ad space on your site?

  No. Sponsored content, paid content and blogger initiated advertising is not allowed. See here for what gets a WordPress.com blog suspended:

  is there anyway to only have one blog post appear on the homepage?

  Yes. Go to > Settings > Reading
  Enter one (1) here:
  Blog pages show at most __posts

  Then scroll down to disable infinite scroll.
  To infinity and beyond __ Scroll Infinitely

  Lastly, click “save changes”.
