If your using the stars theme and don’t like updating those extra files on your server and want to do everything from your WordPress dashboard then this is the plugin for you.

Download it here

STEP ONE

Add the below CSS to the bottom of your screen.css

/* Ad Blocks

---------------------------------------------------------------- */

.block

{

margin: 0px 0 0;

padding: 0 0 0px;

color: #aaa;

text-align: center;

text-transform: lowercase;

font-family: monospace;

line-height: .8em;

}

.halfblock

{

width:50%;

float:left;

padding:0;

margin:0;

}

STEP TWO

Download and extract, then add these two files to your ads folder (example: themes/thsestars/ads/)

Download here

Alternatively you can just copy the files you have in your stars theme and then rename them ads-125×125right.php and ads-125×125right.php

STEP THREE

Add this code in your sidebar.php where you want the two 125×125 ads to appear.

<!-- 125/125 Ad blocks section -->

<li id="asides">

<div class="block">

<div class="halfblock">

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ads/ads-125x125left.php'); ?></div><div class="halfblock"><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/ads/ads-125x125right.php'); ?>

</div>

<div class="clear"></div>

</li>

<!-- End 125/125 Ad blocks section -->

When adding all of the above you must remember to add your ad spots using the left/right.php files or else nothing else will show up.

Example:

<a href="thelinktoyourad" target="blank"><img src="thelinkwheretheimageisstored" alt="nameofad" /></a>
