My next quest – rotating graphics/ads in a WordPress MU sidebar
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009Here’s the next thing I want to do to this blog site – see that graphic over at the top of the far right sidebar? The one that is currently announcing Voxeo Labs? We’re building up a group of similar graphics as we make more announcements.
So here’s what I want to do – when we have a major announcement out, I obviously want to have that image be a static image that points to the announcement blog post. However, between major announcements, I want to dynamically cycle through those graphics so that visitors see the links to different announcements we’ve had in the past.
In my ideal world, I want a plugin that lets me configure a table like this:
| Image URL | Link URL |
|---|---|
| http://blogs.voxeo.com/voxeotalks/files/2009/05/imifed-button.png | http://blogs.voxeo.com/voxeotalks/2009/05/27/voxeo-acquires-imified-and-gains-ivr-type-self-service-for-im/ |
| http://blogs.voxeo.com/files/2009/07/VoxeoLabs_button.png | http://blogs.voxeo.com/voxeolabs/2009/07/22/adhearsion-and-voxeo-join-to-create-voxeo-labs |
and then just cycles through those graphics on an ongoing basis.
I figure there must be a WordPress plugin out there that will do this… it seems like something people would want to do for incorporating rotating ads into a site. I just haven’t yet done the research… and figured out which of the plugins then work with WPMU.
That, though, is one of the next things I’ll be looking into for this site…
