HOW-TO: A NICE LOOKING BANNER ROTATOR ON YOUR MAINPAGE

just found an easy way to add a wonderful custom banner rotator on my network. Here's how it looks on my site. I'll show you how to do it in 3 easy steps.

My network isn't live yet so can't show the banner rotating right now but it does! :-)

1) Go create a NICE and FREE custom banner (ad supported but ad-free for a small fee) athttp://www.bannersnack.com ). Then click to publish your banner and choose 'copy the Embed code'.

2) Create an empty html document and fill it with the code I supply in the attached .doc file. Then replace the code between the <body></body> tags with your Bannersnack code -> save the file -> and then upload the html file to your network and copy the link to the file.

3) Go to the 'Custom Code' box on your network and add the code below:

Replace yourfile.html with the link you copied above.

Change the width and height of the iframe to suit your needs

<script type="text/javascript">
x$(".xg_widget_main #xg_layout_column_2").before("<div id='custom_banner' class='xg_2col last-child' style='height: 135px; margin-left: 0px;'></div>");
var iframe = "<iframe src='yourfile.html' scrolling='no' style='border:none; width:675px; height:100%;' frameborder='0'/>";
x$("#custom_banner").html(iframe);
</script>

That's it!

Now ENJOY YOUR NICE-LOOKING ROTATING BANNER!

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for telling us about Banner Snack. I am using it now and loving it. You can see my creation on my site. I'm surprised that nobody else has responded to your discussion.

I use this free tool (ad free) for rotating up to 10 banners of any size:

At BannerSnack I could not get my banner without paying for some reason and therefore, found what Adrianne George suggested much easier.

Bruno, are you able to manipulate your code to be utilized without BannerSnack? In other words, can it work with banner ads that are not created on BannerSnack, but by the individual?
