Adding Advertising
Some user will want to host ads on their blogs so I made it simple to do in a couple of areas. First the sidebar is designed to host ads; second facility for a banner ad was provided. This post will explain how to implement advertising in these two locations.
Banner Ad Placement
Obviously this is for horizontal ads. I created supporting styles for two common sizes: 468×60 and 728×90, using the .ad468 and .ad728 classes, respectively. To put these classes to use, in the “Theme Editor” on the “Presentation” page open the “Header” file and scroll down to the bottom (the editable section). There you will see two commented out examples like these:
<div class="ad468"> This is a pre-styled 468 x 60 ad slot </div> <div class="ad728"> This is a pre-styled 728 x 90 ad slot </div>
Place your ads in the divs. Use one or the other only.
Sidebar Ad Placement
Obviously this is for vertical ads. I created supporting styles for two common sizes: 160×160px and 160×600, using the .ad160 and .ad600 classes, respectively. To put these classes to use, in the “Theme Editor” on the “Presentation” page open the “Sidebar” file and scroll down to the bottom (the last editable section). There you will see two commented out examples like these:
<div class="ad160"> This is a pre-styled 160 x 160 ad slot </div> <div class="ad600"> This is a pre-styled 600 x 160 ad slot </div>
Place your ads in the “divs.” Repeat the use of the “divs” as needed.
