    Hi

    I am having trouble finding the right theme

    I would like the following available

    1) Ad Banners available
    2) Simple Layout but eye catching
    3) Ability to make each type of posting categorized, which can be reached by navigation buttons according to category
    4) Ability to have navigation buttons with dropdown menus
    5) Ability to have a section for a directory

    I am starting a blog called "GuapoVida" and you can find the info at

    http://changsterdj.com/magazine.html

    I want to have a blog with ads and a directory, sort of like Vancouver Magazine
    Blog url: http://changsterdj.wordpress.com/

    ~~~Hi Mike!

    @changsterdj
    There is this option as well:

    You can run any ads you’d like if you manage your own WordPress installation. More info, including hosting recommendations, can be found at get.wp.com.

    Hi AUx Class

    Thank Your for your reply

    I was actually planning my own self hosted blog with my own web address, not a domain under wordpress.

    I am currently reviewing the links you posted as I figure I could use a blog on here to promote my self hosted site/wordpress platform

    Also, do yall know which themes allow its own video and audio player?

    I am in a record pool and a deejay and want to showcase new music from artists to help promote them and it would help if they could have their music played on the site (wordpress or self hosted)

    These forums here are for advise on the WordPress.COM platform. If you are hosting your own site, then you need to head over to the wp.ORG support forums. Our answers here won't apply to the things you have access to over there.

    Can you have word ads without having your own address on here?

    I'd simply like advertising on my wordpress.com blog

    You need to buy the domain mapping, then apply to have the wordads upgrade as well. I don't know if you need to qualify with a minimum of hits in order to qualify. I'm sure another volunteer can answer that question.

    You might also like to look at the wp.com word ads forum here:
