Personally, I’d rather see more content and less ads – but then, that’s just me. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Newspaper site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-site-2/) * [marko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko/) * (@marko) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-site-2/page/2/#post-470760) * qoute ronco: “Advertising has always been part of newspaper publishing” * Um, so when newspapers were first published back in late 18th century France as a precursor to the French Revolution, they included advertising? I don’t think so – advertising is a ‘modern’ construct – advertising has very little to do with the dissemination of information – rather, advertising has a lot to do with the sale of products – it is a capitalist adjunct. Advertising is perverse. * A school or Community site could justify advertising as sponsorship – that isn’t too bad – providing the ‘sponsorship’ is relative – plonking Google ads on anything simply because it’s what blog-sites do is pathetic – it undermines the political freedom which the Internet and blogging provides. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Newspaper site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-site-2/) * [marko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko/) * (@marko) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newspaper-site-2/#post-470716) * Why destroy such a good layout/design with Google ads? Why does anyone putting up a website destroy it with Google ads? I don’t get it – I think this is one of the most inspiring “newspaper”-style sites I’ve seen for a while, yet the intrusive, pervasive, obnoxious element is still there – the “Google ad”. Are you really gonna make money out of Google, or is Google gonna make money out of you? I think you have a very good, clean “newspaper” design – it falls down because of the Google ad element – it’s so “cheesy” – and ultimatly, cheap. Otherwise, very cool – well done. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [Criticize my site!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/criticize-my-site/) * [marko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko/) * (@marko) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/criticize-my-site/#post-468219) * You need to check your spelling. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [4images photo gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/4images-photo-gallery/) * [marko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko/) * (@marko) * [19 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/4images-photo-gallery/#post-332379) * I stripped 4images right down, then set up a page template that includes a 4images‘ random image’ script, which you can find at the 4images forum, and 4images itself in an iframe.

I just tried to leave a comment, in your support, on the plagiarist’s site and got redirected to some other rubbish. The token credit link this person provides at the end of “your writing” is just that – token. The credit should be stipulated at the outset and the body of the text presented as a “blockquote” – you have been plagiarised and, in my neck of the woods (Australia) at least, you have grounds to have that site shut down. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [MAJOR Site Issues Please HELP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-site-issues-please-help/) * [marko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko/) * (@marko) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-site-issues-please-help/#post-412148) * url? * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Is WordPress the solution for this scenario?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-wordpress-the-solution-for-this-scenario/) * [marko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko/) * (@marko) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-wordpress-the-solution-for-this-scenario/#post-411203) * I reckon WP would be ideal and with little customisation. One way might be to set up a new category for each edition. You could, if ya liked, then have sub- categories or ‘sections’ in each. Then you could customise the ‘loop’ so that only the ‘current’ edition/category is shown. Then have a link/tab to list all categories/editions. You could even have a sidebar section showing a random archived article from any or all editions – the possibilities with WP are pretty much limitless – there are heaps of different ways to use it as is – then there are heaps of plug-ins that take it even further.
