I keep doing this. I did make a Wordpress blog, again, placed some posts in it, and see that the Wordpress people, or algorithms or whatever, placed three ads in my first post. In three different places. I could do maybe one ad, in between posts, but not in the middle, in three different places.
I could buy a plan, cheapest being $4/month. Too many dollars being syphoned off already. And I sort of feel like Wordpress should pay me, not the other way round, if people reading my blog also read their ads.
I know that sounds kind of presumptuous, and I don't seriously mean that. But I'm still not moving over to Wordpress.
I bought the plan because of the gross ads messing up my posts. It's a tax deduction for me because I still make a few bucks as a writer and get to use it as a legit hobby. But I can't be enthused about WP the way I used to. I liked it way back when, better than Blogger, due to the flexibility of design and dealing with comments. But now it's so damn glitchy. They kept "improving" it to the point of absurdity. Now the dumbest things go wrong all the time. My latest rage is about how they keep messing with quotes, putting the curls in the wrong direction. Naturally, I have to fix each one because OCD... ugh!
