I am one the teachers who made edublogs what it is by spreading it to my district and at conferences touting the teacher friendliness of the site and the site's creator. Ads and kids don't mix. Schools and responsible teachers won't be allowed to use it and in this financial crisis, most teachers can't afford it. I am sorry to sound so negative, but like I said before $40 is acceptable. I can't afford $120 a year for this resource and my school will not pay for it. I'm so sad that this came about so quickly with no warning. One day I could add content, the next day I was taking out my credit card, twice, for two of the blogs I have---dirty trick. Its like getting a kid hooked on drugs by giving him a free sample and then charging him 3x the amount (my three blogs) after he's already addicted.

I just became a supporter to eliminate the ads. I only have one blog. Do I have to do anything to make sure that stays "ad free", or is it automatically going to do so once I became a supporter? Thanks! Sorry, I’m new to this blogging thing, and I read the above, but still have a question.

Cheers, James Hi Guys,

I’ll do a batch response :)

- Ads will be turned off on up to 30 blogs you select and automatically on the ‘Supporter’ blog

- Email subscription is now a Supporter feature, if you sign up all of your subscriptions will be saved though

- Yes, free upload space is now 20MB – you should still be able to post but if you have reached that limit, you’ll need to upgrade tp upload any more

- Unfortunately Supporter is on a per blog basis at the moment.

Cheers, James

So now I am faced with a decision to make. Do I keep my two blogs (I have one for each prep) and limit the resources for my students? Do I pay $80 per year out of my own pocket to keep both? Do I pay $40 and lump my two into one? Or do I start looking elsewhere? I had hoped $40 would have covered both my sites. Too bad there is not a feature to split the upload space between blogs.
