Carol Anne asks

Do you pay for your blog? If you do, are you tempted not to renew because of all the recent issues wp has been having? I pay for mine, but it is up now, and I need to renew, but I haven’t yet, I probably will though. Even though recently I haven’t been able to follow blogs, and there has been other issues also popping up.

    I do pay $ 4 a month for my blog. But I think of it as an investment in my mental health. So I do pay when it comes up for renewal

      Yes, I will probably renew mine as well. I do love having a blog with no ads 😊

    I pay and will continue to pay so ads don’t show on my posts. If things get too horrible I will quit altogether, but I’m nowhere near that point!

      That is my main reason for paying as well, I don’t want the ads 🙂

      I’m mostly happy to, I do pay for my site and I will continue to pay. I think I don’t want ads on my blog site.

    I consider what I pay to keep the ads off my site to be well worth it. WordPress can be glitchy sometimes, but overall it works well, and the problems I’ve had with it have been relatively minor.

    Yes I pay for mine. WP is the best blogging software out there. Unless you have your own self-hosted blog and that is way to complicated for me.

        Plus it would cost almost triple the money per year.

        Yeah, the cost is another factor, it just cost way too much to do that 💜💜

    I pay for an upgraded plan primarily to get rid of the ads and more media storage.

      I’m the same, I pay for no ads, and extra storage space. Can I pick your brain about something? How do you make photos small so they take up less space? I’m using an I phone? For photos? X

        I have an app called “Resize It” that I use to shrink the size (in pixels) before I actually post them. For example, if I have a photo I took with my iPhone, it might be 12 megapixels (3024×4032 pixels) and take up 3.6 megabytes of space. But if I run that same photo through Resize It, it’s shrunk down to less than 1 megabyte (640×853 pixels) and only 268 kilobytes of space. And the shrunk photos load faster, too, when someone opens your post.
