Hi all,

Here is my site:
http://gator541.hostgator.com/~acoc2011/

(It's a temp url until I finish building it out.)

I don't know if I am on the right track with this but here goes. I am trying to add 2 banner ads to the header area, next to the alachua chamber of commerce logo. I plan to use the Simple Image plugin to do this. I'm already using that for my sidebar ads.

I understand that in the "configure header" area, I am to remove the %logo and replace with <?php bfa_widget_area('name=My new widget area'); ?> but beyond that, I am lost. Am I supposed to insert my own code where it says 'name= My new widget area') And where would I find that code?

And will the widget that I am creating be added where the regular widgets are? i.e. right sidebar, left sidebar, etc so that all I have to do is drag the Simple Image widget into the new widget area?

A coder, I am not. But I am appreciate your help!

Eunice

P.S. I have tried to follow other posts that explain how to do this but I am completely lost.
Diagrams and visual aids welcome! ;-)

P.P.S. I donated to both moderators on here. You have both been a great help to me so far.

you're on the right track

diagram without visual aid:
- create the widget by replacing %logo with the code you mentioned indeed
- if needed, adjust the code to your liking (cells, align etc.) as explained in atahualpa -> add new widget areas
- you can change the "my new widget area" text bit with anything you want, best use a meaningful description o.c.
- after reloading your site the widget area will be ready, and will show up under appearance-> widgets indeed
- the new widget area will be called "my new widget area" or however you called it
- and you can drag and drop widgets in it, just like with any other widget area

just try it out .. probably easier than you think

PERFECTLY EASY instructions! Thank you!
