  I’ve read that for a fee of $36 per annum I can get rid of ads on my wordpress.com site, but I can’t find how to do this. I don’t want to upgrade to a paid plan because I don’t want the hassle of changing anything other than getting rid of ads.

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

  We run ads on free sites to keep them free: https://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

  To remove ads, simply purchase any paid plan: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  We do not currently have any stand-alone upgrades that remove ads, only the plans do. The least expensive option is the Personal Plan at $48/year.

  Can I sign up for a Personal plan and keep my site exactly as it is? The sign up page makes it look as if you have to start from scratch.

  Adding a plan to an existing site does not change anything about the site, except that ads will disappear. You can add a plan to your site by clicking on My Site ->Plans.
