  Im trying to put auctionads into my side bar on my blog. I found a WP auctionad widget but I don’t know how to extract that file into my widgets to use. Can you help?

  You can’t add widgets to a WP.com blog. Those are for WP.org blogs. If you can find an html code that’s equivalent, you can put that into a text widget. But you can’t use flash or javascript.

  Sorry.

  So basically, there is no way to do this?

  Correct.

  You’re trying to use a plugin made for a self-hosted wordpress.org blog. Those are verbotten here on wordpress.com.

  Not to mention the fact that advertising, including auctionads, will get your blog deleted in short order.

  AdSense and other ads

  Oh I apologize, I am new to the whole website blog type of thing. Luckily I didn’t find a way to do it. Thanks again everyone for your help.

  I’m confused about this, also. Is the only way to have (revenue) ads on my site to have my word press blog hosted by someone else? Trust me, I’ve searched and searched for this answer!

  Yes, or find another blogging service that allows ads.
