Side Right
Let's skip over to the next file listed on the Pre-Planning Template and open up the "sideright.inc.php" in HomeSite. This file can be found in the "includes" folder.
| <!--- Start Google Ads ---> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1004922349696672"; //Blank Wide Skyscraper google_ad_slot = "7090576225"; google_ad_width = 160; google_ad_height = 600; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <!--- End Google Ads ---> |
This small amount of code consists of a note to start a Google Ad Unit ("<!--- Start Google Ads --->"). After that there is a set of code from Google that creates a skyscraper of information. Goggle looks at the text of a webpage and puts advertisements in this column that are relevant to the site. The last line of code is a note stating the end of the Google Ad Unit ("<!--- End Google Ads --->").
This is completely optional. We put the Google Ad Units here for demonstration purposes to show what they are and what they look like. As much as we would love to see this kept here, it is your site. You can put anything in this column that you want, even your own Ad Units.
The ads can be deleted by completely deleting the code. This will display nothing in this area and will just make a blank area on the site.
You can also delete this area and merge the cells together. We DO NOT suggest doing this as it will be much harder to replace later on. If you really want to delete this column, follow these instructions.
Open up the "index.php" file. This is in the main folder of the website.
Find the following code:
| <tr> <td valign="top"><!--- Left Side ---><?php include ("includes/sideleft.inc.php"); ?></td> <td><!--- Blank Column ---> </td> <td valign="top"> <!--- Start Breadcrumbs Divide each breadcrumb with a > and a on each side---> <div class="breadcrumbs"> <a href="index.php">Home</a> </div> <!--- End Breadcrumbs ---> <div class="content"> <!--- Content --->> <h2>Title</h2> <p>Coming Soon.</p> <br><br> </div> </td> <td><!--- Blank Column ---> </td> <td valign="top"><!--- Right Bar (Ad Space width = 160) ---><?php include ("includes/sideright.inc.php"); ?></td> </tr> |
And replace it with this code:
| <tr> <td valign="top" colspan="3"><!--- Left Side ---><?php include ("includes/sideleft.inc.php"); ?></td> <td><!--- Blank Column ---> </td> <td valign="top"> <!--- Start Breadcrumbs Divide each breadcrumb with a > and a on each side---> <div class="breadcrumbs"> <a href="index.php">Home</a> </div> <!--- End Breadcrumbs ---> <div class="content"> <!--- Content --->> <h2>Title</h2> <p>Coming Soon.</p> <br><br> </div> </td> </tr> |
And that's it. We still don't recommend doing this for the sake of future flexibility. But it is your site to create as you see fit.
Ok enough of that. Let's look at the next section.
