    Hi,
    I have an Invite and I have now a wordpress blog at wordpress.com.
    But it is useless because I cant put Adsense or other ads in it! I have tried, but did not find. Or do someone know a trick for that?
    Ad also I cant put Plugins in it?

    It is better to have the wordpress sript at the own webspace, I think.
    Or do anyone know how to put plugins and adsense on that blogs at wordpress.com??

    Is there a forum for the wordpress blogs in Internet?

    I don't know about plugins (would love one to let my show php scripts nicely) but they're working on a template editor. Just a matter of time...

    Hi sarahk,
    yes I have read this yesterday in the FAQ-Blog.
    Very good, we are waiting then.

    But it is not good, that I can not put my Adsense in it :)
    bye,
    Wally

    I guess you should build up your content, the inbound links etc. After all adsense is no good without pages and traffic.

    Perhaps they're even trying to prevent "made for adsense" blogs lol

    It's always better to have your site on your own server, that way you can control it. If you have to use a hosted blog your better off using Blogger.

    You have my total agreement there.
    but I beg to differ here. Blogger is a pain to moderate comments on. Wordpress is much easier and since WordPress.com use Akismet there isn't even any spam :)

    Blogger templates need modifying to make them seo friendly - clickable titles being a good start point.

    Yeah, this really boils down to what you want. SOme poeple like comment spam, makes people more likely to comment themselves. However, I can't stanp comment spam, therefore I Wordpress!

    Sarah, no javascript and others are working. And no Google Adsense and others.
    Or are they working in your wordpress.com-blog?

    Yes wordpress as a script on a webhost is better to controll and for adjustments etc...

    Comments I have not much until now. (so I dont know)

    Blogger is very good - but it is not good, that I can not make "categories"!! that is very bad. Or do you know how I can do it?

    And also there is a big mixmix for the german language blogs. Some words in german and some words in english, not only at the backend, also at the frontpage (make comment etc....) and big hotchpotch at the Adminbackend.
    But ok - nothing is perfect.

    Sarah, thank you very very much for the tip: "clickable titles"!
    I made it and worked very good on my Joomlablog http://joomlablog.blogspot.com/ - but what can I do? On my Photoshop-Weblog http://photoshop-weblog.blogspot.com/ there is not the code for it, I can not find it! :(

    I took the code for my Template from here: http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/2005/07/sunburned.html#getthecode
    Sarah, if it is not much for you, can you please look where exactly I can make your codes exactly in it, please.

    I don't think your blog is useless becasue you can't make money off it. Many people blog just to be blogging!

    I spoke to the founder of Wordpress earlier and he said they are still working on a lot of it. They have a good anti-spam system in place, but it just takes time to develop the system further for the use of the members.
