Blaine,
The following is the text of new information I discovered and passed onto Gideon shawlick: I watched video #10 as soon as I realized that all of the widgets on the new template at wordpress.org 2.5.1 are dedicated. There are no text boxes, etc. So then I went to feedburner and selected my blog feed, the publicize tab and clicked on feedflares, then chickletize and discovered that the code provided is only for blogger, typepad, and not wordpress. So then I double checked my other blog which is still at wordpress.com and the feedburner options for wordpress are still the same. Your video #10, just like the one we discussed before, #4, no longer matches wordpress.org and, as I pointed out, if you go to the forum at wordpress.org you will find there are now seven pages of complaints from bloggers about the new admin page and the fact that it doesn't support email or reader widgets. I suspect this may have to do with google buying into feedburner but I don't know for sure except to say one additional thing, I clicked on the monetize button at feedburner and activated the adsense ads and they didn't show up on my feed or my blog either.
I send this to you with the same question I sent to Gideon, what now? There appears to be no way to monetize a wordpress.org blog since the feedburner site no longer recognizes wordpress.org? And since you are speaking for Yaro, what does he have to say about this?
