@Aan, Unfortunately WordPress.com doesn’t allow you to add Adsense, Yahoo etc ad blocks to the free WordPress.com blog. More info on the advertising policy of the free WordPress.com blogs can be found at the following URL:

@Doron
The best way to fix wordpress errors is to copy the error and paste it into Google, usually there will be a help page where another blogger had the same issue and will show you how to fix it.

Nice points for the beginners. Domain name hosting and all the things above counts. You need to follow these point in order to be a good blogger

Another thing a person needs to be a blogger is a passion towards a topic. It can difficult to find the inspiration and motivation to keep at it, particularly at the beginning when you don’t know what your doing.
