    No, blogspot is my personal blog where I post my own original stories and where I once posted my previous translations (most of which were removed when the authors didn't give permission). I Have A Cheat But I Started An Inn was removed as Estel asked to take over and I didn't want people to compare Estel's better translation with mine.

    My translation blog is at heliohost, starting from chapter 1 part 1 of A Warrior Begins Life In Another World. This one use wordpress template.

    Thanks for the offer. I also tried popups before, but my readers hated it very much, so I stopped and just used google ads. Haven't got any money, but that's because I'm not as active as I used to be.

    I think @Punllarena was also searching for ads provider last time. I wonder if Pun has found a suitable one.

    As for google ads, your site needs to be of a certain age for them to consider it. Having a sitemap also helps. I'm not sure hosting translations without author's permission would matter as I know several translators whose blogs do use google ads and I'm pretty sure they didn't get permission.

    Anyhow, best of luck. I'll probably require your hospitality one day :p

    Couple days ago you were looking for hosting your self and now you already offering one =)) that's quite a quick change in plans. Anyway good luck. Also the amount of ads on your website just killing the mood.

    uhm I only have 3 ads though. 1 top 1 side and 1 bottom. Should I have less?

    Anyways someone paid for the domain and I am thankful of her. That is why I am offering my site to host others as well

    I hope domain registered on your account and your name. Otherwise in one year than nice lady can forget to pay for it and you will lose it.

    Yeah tons of pop-ups.

    Lol cheer up. Think of it this way: Most of the people who come to this subforum in the first place are already actively translating on their own site. If they didn't have one, they wouldn't even be here unless they were just starting out. And... the people who are just starting out are in the minority.

    Just think of it as lending a helping hand for anyone who might need it in the future.
