I need some real advice on making money with a blog.

I had been writing a blog on the free Word Press. And I was getting some great response. I had almost 5,000 visitors. I was enjoying it very much, and I thought after doing it for a while I would try to branch out to try to use it to make money. Well, I got called into my principal's office (I'm a teacher). An anonymous tipster told him about my blog and said that I was writing some content on there that could get me into trouble. The worst things I ever said were about my department head or a bad parent phone call. I never used names though. He freaked me out enough though that I quit writing altogether. A year later, I really want to try again. This time with the opportunity to make money. This time I'll make sure my name doesn't become associated with it. I won't tell any co-workers. I'll make sure I don't have a boss scare me away from writing. Word Press doesn't allow you to put ads on your blog, so I can't just pick up where I left off. I need a new way to go about it. I did try to transfer the blog. I even signed up with a host company called justhost.com. I just couldn't figure out what to do or how to do it. I panicked and canceled the account about two hours after signing up. I'm no computer genius. If I have to know computer code or HTML or any sort of programming, I'm screwed. I need a company that will have templates, will host the site, and will let me make money. Does such a wonderful website exist? If so, please point me in that direction. Any real advice would be most appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!

I've been blogging since last May and am enjoying it immensely. I'm not doing it for money, but just for fun. However I'm sure you will like the site. Just check it out by Goggling, Campbell's Honey, and get an invite to try it onsugar.com
