I am wanting to load adverts onto my editor blog. From the live demonstration I should be able to put ads on the side bar as well as throughout the post (horizontal). How do I do this? Is there a widget I am supposed to be using?
Hi @theboxbureau;
You should create a text widget in the sidebar and write your link and image url.
Example;
<a href="#"><img alt="banner" src="image-url-here"></a>
Thanks
thanks @serkan. I had already tried that when I did it two things happened.
1) When you clicked on the advert it did not open the advertisers website on a new page. Is there a way to get clicks on adverts to open in a new page?
2) The advert (skyscraper ad in sidebar) was not in line with the rest of the sidebar (i.e. it appeared outside of the sidebar column. Is there a way around that?
One final question – can you place a banner advert in the middle of your post text (in between paragraphs)? Is this done through text box as well?
Hi @theboxbureau;
1) <a href="#" target="_blank"><img alt="banner" src="image-url-here"></a>
2) Go to appearance > widget > blog side bar and drag and drop the text widget here. It should be inside the column if it is not, provide me your url and i will check out.
3) You can add the pictures as same as the widget text. Copy that html code to the text tab in the post between paragraphs.
Thanks
