Use our shortocde or widgets to place graphic banner, button, or tower ads anywhere on your site. You own and manage the ad space and ads on your site. This the initial release and we are looking for feedback. If you don't see a feature, ask us and you might see it in the next release. We publish updates to our WordPress plugins on a monthly schedule, so you may want to bookmark this page and check back for more features next month! = Features = * Custom Ad types added to WordPress when you install the plugin. * List, sort, and search for ads by title or tag. * Select ads by ID or easier-to-remember shorthand tags. * Uses built-in WordPress media manager to manage graphics. * Shortcodes with options make it easy to customize. * Widgets provided. * Works on all modern web browsers. * Multiple plugin themes available. These themes tweak the look, position, and other style attributes without affecting the rest of the site. * Create your own custom plugin themes. Tweak the CSS and easily re-use the style on multiple pages, or create a unique style for each page. = On The Agenda = This is our first release with the next update already in planning stages and due out in June. On the agenda: * Mobile app listener makes it easy to manage web and mobile app ads from one place. * Ad impression tracking. * Ad click tracking. * Basic reporting. * Target window (open new window). = Our Philosophy = Like all of our plugins, we strive to create code the runs efficiently and without bugs. We feel well-written plugins are few and far between. While there are plenty of plugins that look nice, far too many of those plugins, including the "cool shiny ones" have way to many hidden problems. We have found that over 90% of the plugins available on the WordPress plugin directory generate dozens, if not hundreds, of warnings and errors when we turn off the "hide all the problems" settings in PHP. These hidden problems impact memory usage, fill up disk space, and reduce performance via the typical default logging settings on most web hosts. While you may not see the errors on your WordPress site, they are still being tracked. The more errors, the more disk I/O, the slower the app. During our 20+ years of software development, we have also found that leaving "innocuous" warnings in place tends to lead to trouble further down the road. Warnings today often become errors tomorrow. Many programming languages, PHP included, continue to tighten security and close loopholes that are typically found living near all those warning messages. Some warnings are also telling you to "change this now, it will be gone tomorrow". Eventually tomorrow will come. While our plugins may not be the prettiest on the block, we do try to make sure that all the hidden stuff you don't see is designed as well as it can be. To sum it all up, we like to write plugins that last. We hope you appreciate our work. = Support Development = If you like this plugin we hope that you will help support our continued development.
