Finally, you can make some money there as well, but probably nothing like what you'll make on your current site once things get going.
As for images, try Creative Commons. There are lots of images out there that are in the public domain, or are free for the taking (even in commercial ventures). Creative Commons is a great place to get started on finding them. |
Thanks for the links, I’ll check them out.

Good Luck! You do have a great site and I wish you the best. |
I am earning *some* money, and all I am using currently is Google Adsense text ads, so I don’t think it is that invasive.

Comments are basically made on “posts”, not “pages”. For example, static pages that never change, such as most homepages, privacy statements, etc. are created with “pages”
“Posts” are what you would use to write your various articles, lists, ideas, etc. and posts are where people can comment on them, if you want them to.
It is possible to put comments on your wordpress theme template though (Not sure about other software). I believe in the widget section there is a widget called “recent comments”. It really depends on the blog writer’s personal preference.
