             Summary: Take Gravity "related content" ads out of Blog
                 Key: COUCHDB-2372
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2372
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: Website
            Reporter: Javier Candeira


The Gravity ads auto-inserted in blog.couchdb.org by wordpress.com are really 
spammy, and detract from the professionality of the project. As the content is 
not controlled by us, they may even break the code of conduct (e.g. right now 
I'm looking at "50 hottest celebs!" under the photo of a woman with cleavage). 
This is why I've classified it as a bug, not merely an improvement.

Some options:
a - try and break the ads with custom CSS
b - ask wordpress.com to please turn them off, we are an non-profit project, 
etc.
c - self-host a wordpress instance.

I would try b first. Since it involves approaching Wordpress in the project's 
name, suggestions welcome.
