Alhamdulillah, wordpress.com is free and does not allow advertising. Some other blog sites allow that sort of pop-up advertising which I find somewhat annoying. And there are many other nice things about wordpress which you can read about here.
When I was considering starting my own blog, I researched several different sites and surveyed user opinions and wordpress was and still is head and shoulders above the competition.
