I'm not looking to add another modification for my vB right now (I'm holding off on upgrading to 4.0 because the mods I do have (and love) are going to make the upgrade difficult), but am looking for a good tutorial on adding ads to my site.

Specifically, I need a quick answer to how to add a banner ad with a link to one of the template locations. I know how to drop html code in (from goggle adsense and other affiliates), but I was sent a selection of banners in .swf code and need to put them in with a link to the referring site.

I used to know how to do this, but since the twins were born I haven't focused on making changes to my site and can't for the life of me remember how.

Do I upload the graphic to the forum host? What is the code I need to use?

Sorry for such newbie questions... I'm happy to learn on a tutorial or to take straight info from a friendly fellow user.

Thanks!

The basic code for embedding .swf files is:

Code:

<object width="468" height="60">
<param name="movie" value="yourfile.swf">
<embed src="yourfile.swf" width="468" height="60">
</embed>
</object>

obviously 'yourfile.swf' is the path to your swf file and the height/width should be adjusted to your needs (in both places).

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
