If you are not blogging just for pleasure, you need to display ads on your site, on your sidebar, on your header, wherever you consider them necessary. In order to protect your Wordpress site from being penalized by the mighty Google, you have to display your ads moderately. I'm sure that almost all the Wordpress.org sites users know how to deal around with theme customizations, code snippets, and other modifications.

The Evil “nofollow” Is Back in Comments
This post's title should be "How to remove the evil nofollow tag from comments!" I hope you remember my old posts about "dofollow" tag.

It is huge and covers a great part of your screen, especially if you use some more toolbars than usual.
