  You can hire a web host and get free software from http://wordpress.ORG and run advertising on your blog.https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1 Here is the link to recommended wordpress web hosts http://wordpress.ORG/hosting Alternatively, you could get a free hosted blog from Blogger and run advertising on it.

  Blogger. But I personally think the templates aren’t appealing – and the ones you can download on the web never seem to work out the way they’re supposed to. Unless of course you know a little html & css…

  I agree with you. Here’s my post comparing the features of the two free hosted blogspot blogs Blogger versus free hosted wordpress.com http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/blogger-sucks-wordpress-rocks/

  My experience is that Google Adsense does not make a payout to a blogger running their ads until they achieve $100. of income for ad clickers. This can take months and even a whole year depending on the traffic the blog attracts and how many ad clickers there are. Given that we are in a recession, and ad clickers are fewer than in pass years, and that there are many flightless bird blogs cheats and tricks blogs that do not contain any original content I wouldn’t bother placing a penguin cheats and tips blog on either a blogspot subdomain or a self hosted wordpress.com blog.

  Edit: I meant to say “self hosted wordpress.ORG” install in the last sentence above. :(

  Regardless: this is not an appropriate question for the WordPress.com support forum.
