Guess Who Built Up A Wordpress Site And Then Got Dick Slapped In The Face?

     Yeah, that would be me.  I am not fucking happy.  I started up a Wordpress site because I thought I could make ad money based on views and not clicks, the way that Blogger does it.  So I bought a domain for $12/year which isn't bad.  But then I learned that in order to advertise on Wordpress, you have to use Wordpress premium which is $99/year in addition to owning your own domain.  So that's fucking fantastic.
     I even posted my first blog last night just so you can see it was ready to go.

So now I'm pretty much in advertising limbo.  In 2 goddamn years on Blogger I've made $5.60.  They don't send you checks for less than $100.  And I can't advertise on Wordpress without spending $111/year, which is more than I spend on the candy I'm writing about.  Either way I can't even balance the checkbook on running this thing.  Don't be surprised when I increase the number of non-review blogs.
     Notice the two features I added on Wordpress- Contact and Master List.  I have no idea how to add those to Blogger.  Blogger sucks.  It's easy for writing a blog post but every other feature is just awful.  I don't know how to link posts to social media accounts.  I can't figure out how to link social media accounts on the blog at all.  I don't know how to put up Contact info or my Master List page.  People tell me they can't see pictures I put up.  Sometimes pictures randomly delete themselves.  Advertising is a big bust.  Fuck this website.  Also check the website in two days for my Halloween blog.
     Although on the bright side my blog now has it's own official doman, hebrewhammerthinks.com.  So I got that going for me.

PS- I made a Facebook page for this too.  So I guess you can check that out and keep laughing at my monumental misfortune.

UPDATE- I rage-blogged throughout the night and figured out how to add a Master List, social media, and Contact.  Unfortunately Contact just leads you to the Contact page on Wordpress.  Goddammit.
