FlexxTheme Now Includes ‘Billboard’ Advertising Management Plugin

By Cory Miller • December 16, 2008

As we continue to roll out new versions of our FlexxTheme, today, we’re unveiling a new blog ad management feature called Billboard.

Here’s some of the benefits of the new Billboard feature, now standard in all FlexxTheme versions:

  • Easily upload and resize images – No FTP uploading of ads required, it’s all inside the FlexxTheme ‘Billboard’ page and the WordPress Dashboard
  • No coding required — No more hardcoding of images, with Billboard, you can use WordPress Widgets to place ads in your sidebars and feature areas.
  • Add multiple ad groups to different sidebar areas — Wherever there’s a widget ready area, you can plug in a new grouping of ads, or images.

OTHER USES OF FLEXXTHEME’S BILLBOARD FEATURE

Besides using Billboard for blog display advertising, you can use Billboard for these things too …

  • Display your social media profiles (link to your Twitter, Facebook and YouTube profiles)
  • Featured home photos for real estate agents
  • Profile pics for multi-use author blogs
  • Show small photo galleries of recent events like vacations and trips
  • Show off your portfolio of creative work
