WordPress Widget – Text Widget

The Text Widget

I just made video #2 of the WordPress Widget video series.

You’ll learn how versatile this widget is.  It allows you to embed code from an affiliate network if you want to sell a product or service.

Depending on the theme you are using and the size of the sidebar you have, you can put in banners of different sizes and test to see what works best for you.

You can also create your own advert by writing your own html code.  Or you can have an advert written for you.

The text widget will take copy pure and simple if that suits your need.

Take your pick.

Just take in the video and see what the text widget can for you.
