Thanks for your comments.
Indeed, WordPress.com (the hosted version of WordPress – on a rented server as you describe it) does not allow advertising.

WordPress.org (the selfhosted version) allows you to do anything, so do Tumblr, Typepad, Movable Type (and Blogger of course).

Of all of them, Wordpress is definitely the most fun to use. However, there is one benefit to using Blogger than many of the other sites don't have: They let you earn money from advertising. I know this is a non-profit blog, but earning money is one of the reasons I stick with blogger when I want to create a free website. But I believe a Wordpress.org site hosted on a rented server can be altered to earn an income. Not 100% sure though. Nonetheless, very good tips you have here.
