If I remember correctly, the default option is actually to have no ads displayed at all. @gary

Can I request not to have this as well? What steered me away from TypePad is their TOU says it can put advertisements on your blog. Can I request not to have this as well?

First of all, to clarify a few things, comcast.net is your Internet Service Provider (ISP) - they just give you access to the entire internet and what you choose to do on the internet is endless. To create a website you need either a web hosting company (where you can have your own server or share a server with others) or a 'hosted solution' (where you can use someone else's server and it's generally cheaper and easier). I would highly recommend using TypePad for your childcare site. It is extremely easy to learn and setup, and you can start creating pages in minutes. You can get a free 90 day trial of the Plus version by entering the coupon code 'movable' when you sign up at <a href="http://www.typepad.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.typepad.com/</a> The Basic version is only $4.95 a month, and allows you to have a single site with a single author (you). The Plus version is $8.95 a month, and allows you to have up to 3 sites (weblogs) with you as the sole author. If you want the parents to be able to be authors of posts as well, you'll need the Pro verison which is $14.95 per month. To ensure that your site is private, upon logging into your TypePad account, you will need to do the following: - after the initial signup page, you will be prompted to enter a name for your weblog, to choose a layout structure (you're provided with 9 to choose from), choose a design style (numerous to choose from), and then here's the most important part: at the bottom of the page it says 'Weblog Privacy', and you want to choose the option for "Password Protected" (and enter a shared username and password that you will provide to the parents so they can access your site). - Now click on the tab labeled "Weblogs", and then when it brings up the page with your site listed, click the link that says "Edit Configuration", then click the link that says "Publicity and Feeds" and scroll down towards the bottom to where it asks "Would you like to offer feeds of your weblog's posts?" and check the option for "No, do not offer feeds of my posts". Now your site will only be accessible to those who you provide the username and password to. To create posts, just click on the Post tab, and it's pretty much like using a word processor. Yes, it's really that simple. I hope this information helps, and let me know if you have any additional questions. Hi Tina -

What is the best way to go about this? Do I have to have a server, such as Google to use such a product? I have Comcast.net. I was told that they don't have access to any such thing. I am hoping that I am speaking the correct computer web language to them when I ask for help. PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE HAD SUCH A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW AND WHERE TO GET INFO ON THIS SUBJECT. Your site is the first site where I feel like this may be what I am looking for. I have til the end of June to get this done!

I can confirm: b2evolution does include a convenient mechanism (admin area) allowing "private" posts, hidden unless the person checking in has been assigned the corresponding level to access private posts. BTW, as a follow up to my earlier note to you, I ran into a snafu with WordPress (well documented on their boards, re login woes). Although I eventually resolved it, the whole thing irritatated me enough to push me toward b2evo. Now that I'm really getting into that app, I love it. And thankfully, the learning curve is tolerable. Hi, me again.
