Adding latest reviews and advertisement sidebars

Adding latest reviews and advertisement sidebars

My current site www.insanetek.com has two ad columns on the left and right. I would like to have those on my ST home page (insanetek.com/upload) but whenever I add a menu it pushes the center news column down. What is the best way to add the columns?

Also, the methods for latest reviews on the home page that I've read involve pulling information from the published review automatically. I would rather have a manually editable method for now. Is that possible?

I'm really trying to make ST look like the current site as much as possible.

That works great, thanks! I was missing the <br /> after the block.

First, change your template back.

You need to add the HTML for both ads on top after the following line:

<td valign="top" width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffff"> 


For the ads on the left or right side you need to add a block like this in site_header (left) or side_footer (right):
                                <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="160" bgcolor="#7B7B7B" border="0">

<tr>
<td>
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#2E4354">
<font face="Arial" color="#ffffff" size="2"><b>Advertisement</b></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font size="2">
*** HTML AD CODE HERE ***
</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />

A block starts with <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="160" bgcolor="#7B7B7B" border="0"> and ends with <br />. You need to add the code above after the <br /> of the previous block.

Let me know if you need help with this.

It does something like this  http://www.insanetek.com/upload/

I just copied and pasted the main menu code below it to try to make two of the same menus.

Thanks for the latest reviews advice! It works great.

Please re-add both columns that I can see what the problem is.

Yes, you might want to use the announcement block (Other/Websites => Edit => Announcements) to add your latest reviews to the front page.
