Parallel Lines

Promoting your favorite web browser on WordPress is easy, if you’re using a widget-capable theme.

1. Go to the Presentation tab on your blog’s dashboard, then click on Sidebar Widgets.
2. Drag a Text widget to the sidebar, then click on Configure.
3. Load another tab or window and open the Choose Opera: Banners and Buttons or Spread Firefox: Affiliates page. (If you have an account, be sure to log in first.)
4. Copy the code from the banner you want, then paste it into the text widget box.
5. Close the widget configuration box, then hit Save changes.

The same steps should work for any other banner that provides copy+paste-ready HTML code.

Note for Firefox: At this time, the SpreadFirefox banners are designed for XHTML, but do not leave a space before the closing / in the <img> tag. WordPress will see the slash as part of the image source and remive the entire source. You will have to add a space right between the ” and the />.

You can see some examples on the sidebar here.
