I am a total Newbie

Wordpress is simply a blogging platform script that can be installed on your server. Or in other words, if you have a website, instead of building the site page by page, you can install wordpress and add posts to a page, similar to this forum you are in right now.

Adsense is actually a seperate entity, there are plug-ins or add-ons to wordpress which let you integrate your adsense ads that pay you into your website automatically, again saving you from adding the code page by page, its done for you.

If you have a website you would like to use wordpress with, let me know and I may be able to assist with the intallation and getting it up and running.

You can get a better idea of what you can do with wordpress here : http://www.wordpress.org

Guys, can you give me some guidelines how to start on wordpress adsense?

Kidturtle,

I am sorry I completely missed your post

nixwebo gave some good information, but I wanted to add one more thing. There are 2 ways to sign up for Wordpress.

1. Through wordpress.com, where you have your domain hosted as a subdirectory at wordpress.com, so your blog url will be yourblog.wordpress.com - this option is free, easy to work with, but unfortunately, they do not allow you install adsense (or any other kind of ad) in your blog. Currently, you're signed up for this kind of blog, i.e. in your www.forextrading4u.wordpress.com blog you cannot add Adsense.

2. The other way to work with Wordpress is through wordpress.org - for this, you would download the Wordpress software to your web host, buy your own domain, and host it yourself. The nice thing about this is that your blog url will be yourdomain.com, or your yourdomain.com/blog. Also, you can add Adsense or other types of ad, so you can earn money with this type of blog. The only minor drawback is that you would have to do a few thing on your own (i.e. upload wordpress onto your host, download themes, etc) but like nixwebo mentioned, it's not as bad as it seems, and of course, we'll be here to answer your questions if you they come up.

Let us know if you would like to pursue the 2nd option, and you run into questions or problems.

Hello Nixwebo & SSMorgan,

Thanks for the generous info.
I had started studying about wordpress, I still need around 1 month time because I have a daytime job. Then I would start with .com wordpress blog and pay for domain name & hosting. I save my blog content for later.
Thanks for offering help and I'll ask for it in future.

Warmest Regards.

kidturtle,

Just wanted to let you know that it's very easy to transfer all the content from a wordpress.com blog to your own domain. So like you said, take your time, keep working on the content at your wordpress.com, and you can transfer all those entries later.
