Can I use straight display advertising?

    I am the editor of a small, weekly newspaper. I have an older website and would really like to change. I believe that a hosted WordPress site might be just the thing for me, but I want to do a test first. With that in mind I am putting together a sports microsite to cover our local football teams this season. I would like to put a couple of ads on the site using the photo widget. I was also thinking of having “sponsorships” of the site from the local bank, and my idea was to set up a Page for the bank with information, a photo, links, phone numbers, etc., but I certainly don’t want to get crosswise with the TOS. Thank you.

    I am sorry, but advertising at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:
    http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
    http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

    If you require advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

    Please see this link to learn about the differences:

    We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested:
