Have a wordpress blog and want to rotate some banners or photos? Here is a quick and dirty way.
Go to wordpress.org and find a a widget that allows you to post PHP code. Once you find one you like install it. You can then go to your ->Appearance ->widgets section. I put the widget in my sidebar. Once there you can click on the widget and it probably have a Title field which you can call it “Ads” or what ever you need. Then it will have a text area where you can add some code. There just put this in:
<center>
<?php
$bannerAd[1] = ‘<a href=”http://www.destinationlink/” target=”_BLANK”><img src=”/images/ad1.png”></a>’;
$bannerAd[2] = ‘<a href=”http://www.destinationlink/” target=”_BLANK”><img src=”/images/ad1.png”></a>’;
$adCount = count($bannerAd);
$randomAdNumber = mt_rand(1, $adCount);
echo $bannerAd[$randomAdNumber];
?>
</center>
You can add more by just coping and pasting more of the “$banner….” block of code. Don’t forget to increment the number that is in the [ ]’s.
Hope it helps!
