@PauldeWouters I PAID for a theme for slapshot.net.nz which included my own code! I paid for my own code !?!?!? Craziness.

Client shows me site and asks if I've worked on code like that. My response – "I wrote that code. Your former developer copied it from me."

@tomaltman Thanks. How would they choose to display a specific image though? Wouldn't it just display ALL of them?

@five15design Nothing has changed. WordPress.com has always had ads. They just don't show them often. http://en.wordpress.com/products/

@10PARK Have you paid for the "no ads" upgrade on WordPress.com? if so, something is wrong. Otherwise, that's entirely normal.

@10PARK What if what? Blogs often have Google ads. What is the question exactly?

@10PARK Sorry, I don't understand the question.

@caffeinatedb If a theme doesn't use part of the admin panel, it makes no sense to have that part of the admin panel still present IMO.

@caffeinatedb I think code to alter the admin area should go where ever is most suitable for the job at hand.

@caffeinatedb Were you referring to @craigbuckler's article (http://bit.ly/bVyxBV)? If so, why not functions.php?
