Help?
-
My name is Nate Barrett and I am the website editor of the Constitution Newspaper at Madison High School in Portland, Oregon. We are currently attempting to go online and be able to reach people father away as well as our family’s that live across the United States and that can’t get a physical copy of our newspaper.
I am sure you are aware of the current economic times. Our budget being barely enough to handle and produce a monthly newspaper, we are taking a new approach and taking things online (as well as eco-friendly). I have started creating this website and put hours and hours of time into making our website into a amazing website that people will go on and be able to find out the information they need as well as be able to find announcements, game scores, game schedules, and especially read articles of the talented writers of our journalism team.
After spending (my out of pocket) cash on buying the CSS upgrade with hopes of being able to put ads on to the website so that we could purchase further upgrades as well as making money for our newspaper (we are also trying to get new cameras because we only have two) I heard about a widget of being able to put ads on to the website i decided to go find out how the widget works.
And then suddenly i came upon an article in a forum that stated that it could only be done on the WordPress program. Putting ads up on our website would be completely for non-profit (for any of us, the only profit goes to journalism budget and to getting new gear).
Our school newspaper is state recognized and my goal is to have the school newspaper’s website state recognized too.=(
Can anybody help or give me suggestions?

You will need to contact staff directly and (a) ask for the money back that you paid for CSS on a wrong understanding of what it would do and (b) ask about ads for charitable purposes. Generally ads are not allowed at all here at wordpress.com, but Mark did say something about possible exceptions for charities recently on the forum so it’s worth a shot.
Use the Support link at the top of the page. The forum is mainly staffed by volunteers and we can’t help you directly here.

I’m sorry there is nothing the talented forum volunteers can do to help
you with this matter. You’ll need to contact support for this matter.
http://wordpress.com/contact-supportAlso by linking your name to your blog it will serve the purposes…
If you need to ask a support question in the forum then it will make it easier for the volunteers to see what blogging platform your using & will aide them in giving you a more accurate answer to your question.

Is there a way for me to talk to you in case i have more (newbie) questions because I am brand new to WordPress (If you consider about a month brand new)? -
Sorry if there related to the self hosted software I won’t
be much of help because I’m more familiar with the wordpress.com
version. -
Please ignore my reponse above
Yeah you can look me up I’m usually here in the forums. :)

Perhaps could you help me trick out my website like you?
I noticed a few things on your blog that would look awesome for our school’s website. -
If you’re speaking of CSS sorry I don’t know any CSS
every thing is default when comes to the look of the theme -
I’ll have to turn down the offer because if I trick out your website
Then I would have to do the same for the rest & my schedule is pretty busy. -
One advice I have for though is to have a post section
FAQ > A Post and a Page
FAQ > Having a static page at the front of the blog [screencast]
FAQ > I have 2 Home page links

I see now the announcement tab is the dynamic posts (Blog posts)
That is a bit confusing I recommend changing the page name to like
postsDashboard > Manage > Page
look for the announcement page then click the page name
it will take you to the editor section.each post will have it’s own headline
so there is no need to name the tab link
announcement -

You go to their site, copy the code they give you, and put it in an empty text widget in your sidebar. There are instructions for using the text widget in the FAQ.
