ok. i moved the widget in between my ‘pages’ and my ‘links’

so you’ll have to scroll down to the end of a very, very, long post to find the rest of my sidebar items now

i’m sorry its hard to follow me. i’m just learning the terminology. (and wp) yes, when i placed the widget in the middle of my sidebar … oh, you’re suggesting i move it so you can take a look. sure. i’ll do it and let you know in a few minutes that its done.

ok. heavy sigh. at the bottom of that list (turns out the bulk of those are ‘templates’) but below those are two items under the black bold heading of ‘styles’ one in red says ‘stylesheet’ and in parentheses after, in gray says (style.css)

so if i click on that, i’m going to see a BUNCH of code looking stuff in the center of my screen.

you’re saying i could paste esmi’s suggested phrases at the bottom and click save?

spotcream, thank you

ok. thanks spotcream! so find the file with .css at the end. and where would i look? no, don’t know how to use ftp. my combo of bluehost (my web host) and word press seem to do a lot of stuff automatically for me.

i know wp recommended using some ftp, so i downloaded cyber duck, but have not employed it, nor found any need to yet. i asked blue host a question about ftp, and was told i don’t actually need it.

i would grateful even if you just got me pointed in the right direction and i was able to take baby steps in understanding some of these basic terms.

ok, i’m getting there. i went to my wp control panel, then down to ‘appearance’ then to ‘editor’ then on the right hand side i see a list of ‘theme files, templates” and i clicked on ‘sidebar” so now in the middle of that page, i see a whole bunch of code that i guess tells my sidebar how to act.

are you saying THAT is my sidebar markup? and if i could find that one line you mentioned in it, i could delete it? OR do you mean i need to go somewhere else to edit the plugin file?

thanks esmi, you may already know from a previous chat, that i don’t yet know WHERE i would go to edit a plugin file, in other words, where to go to see that line and remove it. (let alone adding something to a stylesheet, lol) can you point me in the right direction to edit the plugin file? –sharyn

i too would be interested in being able to do my photos this way

oops. i meant no code-using

thank you! no code-uding necesary for me?

thank you. and can you get me pointed in the right direction as to WHERE to place any needed code?

i’ll just go ahead and also ask you this, before i have to step out: would you happen to have another plugin to recommend that also fits my needs (hopes, desires) for ads?

and do you suppose the answers in particular about adserve are there somewhere when i do go ahead and plug it in? (this will be my first plug in)

ok. thanks for the definition.

coding, even a short code is a prob, as i haven’t done it yet, and haven’t even figured out where to PLACE any needed code. got a tip on that for me? so perhaps i can get pointed in the right direction, and then experiment? (i’m using bluehost for my web host, and they seem to handle a lot of stuff for me automatically, so i’ve gotten this far being so naive

— so does banner mean a long rectangle ad that goes across my page, or does it have some other meaning?

— can i really add this and use it without doing any code?

oh, awesome. can i ask you a couple basic questions?
