You guys just need to know there are two types of WordPress.
The guy is referring to the "free-hosted" WordPress which cannot be monetized

pxjosh:
Thank you. I like the subscribe to e-mail thingy at the top of your blog. How'd u set it there?

I use sumoMe which also works with blogger.

Visit www.sumoMe.com to sign up.

pxjosh:
Thank you so much!
Yesterday I registered with 000webhost and after installing WordPress and all that I started seeing their ad on the footer of my site! I tried editing it but I couldn't. I went online and read comparisons between WordPress and blogger and i got to understand blogger was better than using a free host, when you have a domain name.
I've moved over to blogger.

Nice! As times goes on and you got enough funds, you can then purchase hosting and move to WordPress.

pxjosh:
Thank you. I'm going to register with 000webhost

I would advice you go for blogger for the main time, since you can move all your contents to WordPress whenever you're ready.

Free website hosting can come with lots of downtime and no support, and you can’t really complain because, after all, it’s free!

With free website hosting you are probably going to have slower than normal page load speed times because their servers are overcrowded. Hey, everyone else wants it for free too! Slow page load times will hurt you with search engine rankings and could make it impossible for you to gain top spots in searches for your industry or local market.

And, keep in mind, because you don’t own the hosting, there is no guarantee how long the free website host will be around, or if they will continue to offer you free hosting. Free website hosts often have limited support options, if any at all, and such companies tend to come and go in the industry.

Just start with blogger first and see how it goes. You can holla me if you need my help.

You must be a mod or older than me . Sorry you don't meet up to the requirement.

Oh! I never knew... I'm sorry about that.

OkwaIfugo:

Nice

nasfem22:
seun you need to talk to your mods about
banning of Nlanders anyhow, the other day I said great Lautech and I was banned for 48hours.

I can't stop laughing

It all depends on the kind of contents (niche) you offer your readers. It may only be applicable to the entertainment or news niche. But I still don't see the importance. Image captions are not necessary most of the time unless there's an action in the picture.

What really matters is a good and captivating post title.

MMM...... It is well

paulo220:

lady2lady:
I prefer voquepay anyway. Thanks a bunch

You're welcome

lady2lady:
I don't use wordpress.
I integrate from their site and get a code.
I use a personal acct

OK. You need to have a businesses acct to enable card payments. And doing so will cost you some amount of money, about 2500 or so. There are also some documents you'll need to submit.

Another alternative is cashenvoy. I don't think it cost anything to get a businesses account with them.

What type of account do you have with voguepay?
What platform is your blog?
How are you integrating it? With a plugin?
Answer these first pls

Is it a free account or a self-hosted wordpress

JeffreyJamez:
Bro, this 2016 (going to 2017) stop sounding like you're in 2005.........jeeze..... Nokia 2626?..seriously?!!!!

I just tire for the guy

mokoshalb:
SEO..? well, I wont dive into that becos its obvious...

the case of WP mobile template, I can boldly tell you, its not too far from perfect, nairaland you are talking about is just a webpage with no single special function....
the web world is rolling fast and you dnt expect to meet the requirement of java phones... PC, smartphone and tablet is what is focused on now...
websites with special functions dnt work on small phones or opera mini, why..? because they have higher demands that old phones dnt meet..
Or do u expect the likes of PayPal, eBay, Jumia, instagram to work seemlessly on java phone..? NO, they offer better functions that outdated phones cant beat!
so dnt compare NL which is just awebpage with 90's funnction...

You're making sense. That guy don't just get it

directonpc:
Mr Man nairaland is not running on wordpress.

OP, I never get your time. Let me finish my garri first.

Do you know what these top Nigerian websites have in common? They are built with WordPress. This is just to mention a few not to talk of other big brands like Yahoo, Samsung, Forbes, Mashable, Mozilla and the likes

You should just admit you don’t know anything about WordPress or its potential instead of posting this bull crap. I mean, if WordPress wasn’t the darling we all know, why would big brands choose to run not one, not two but several of their websites (and applications) on the platform?

WordPress is very easy to use, you don't need to go to a coding school before building with WordPress. Every points you listed up there are all void and invalid. With the thousands of plugin in the WordPress repository, you can achieve any task you want just by clicking few buttons.

What I'll just advice WordPress users is to learn some basic coding and know how WordPress works, in and out so that you can develop your own themes and plugin to suit your needs. WordPress has come to stay.

So Mr.OP please try and research well before posting your next article and stop "forming" Don.

NB: If you want a blog or website for your business. I'm available for hire (I use WordPress for my web projects).

Ovokoo:
It was done in error. It has been disabled. Thanks for the heads up.

So, can you tell us your experiences with Nigerian hosting companies, if you don't mind.

I don't use Nigerian host. There was this particular host I decided to give a try because of the positive reviews I read online. But was disappointed after using it for just 2 weeks.

Ovokoo:
How do you mean?

Pop ups. Don't you think its too much?

So many redirects on your site. I can access it

OK. What's your blog address or url?

stiflerdrug:
WordPress

I mean the host you used...

stiflerdrug:
Please wats cpanel, I can't even login again..

Where did you host your site?

Do you have access to your cpanel? If you do, there's a way to change back the url

I'll advice you go for NameCheap
