Andrew thank you for the comment, it's brilliant and I love useful advice. I am definitely talking about WordPress.com, and thought I had made it clear on the Welcome page; thanks for pointing it out; I'll try and think of a way to make it clearer. (If you have any idea's I'd love to hear them.) As for "WordPress has a no tacky ads principle" as far as I know, that was <a href="http://photomatt.net/" rel="nofollow">Matt</a>'s take on the subject when I spoke with him a couple of months ago. There is a link to it at <a href="http://blogwell.wordpress.com/interviews/" rel="nofollow">BlogWell Interviews</a> The actual statement from <a href="http://wordpress.com/features/" rel="nofollow">WordPress.com re advertising</a> can be found on their features page. This is the quote: <em>Advertising "To support the service we may occasionally show Adsense ads on your blog, however we do this very rarely. In the future you’ll be able to purchase an upgrade to either turn the ads off or show your own Adsense ads and make money from your blog."</em> Betty, you’re welcome, please feel free to ask any questions, I’ll do my best to get answers to you quickly – who knows, might help you, might help me think a little clearer…

The actual statement from WordPress.com re advertising can be found on their features page.

This is the quote:

“To support the service we may occasionally show Adsense ads on your blog, however we do this very rarely. In the future you’ll be able to purchase an upgrade to either turn the ads off or show your own Adsense ads and make money from your blog.”

I would, however, change the statement: "WordPress has a “no tacky ads” principle, so you’re safe here." First, I think you're talking about WordPress.com, not the software you can download from WordPress.org. Second, WordPress.com reserves the right to put ads on your blog, and some consider this tacky. But it is true that you are not allowed to put your own AdSense, etc., on your WordPress.com blog. This is a very good “getting started” guide.
