Yeah, but you need to tell me what’s going on. A link to your site too.

For some reason I can’t seem to get this to work. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thanks so much.

Hi, thanks. I’ve been tinkering and tinkering with it, but I cannot get positioning to the right of the header. I basically put an image there & played an played with everything I could think of to try to move it left. Nada. If I could get an image in the right spot, then I’d try to place the mmbox. I have wasted so much time on this. It can’t possibly be as hard as I’m making it. I’m not familiar enough with CSS styling elements.

This is cool. Only thing is that I want to place this in my header, on the right. I already have logo and photo positioned to the left. I can’t quite figure out if I should be tinkering within the mymmbox code or using another wrapper, or some other way to position it? I’ve tried numerous ways, but it still shows up on the left, no matter what I do. Any thoughts?

I appreciate all your posts, BTW. This is a great resource for us noobs.

Cheers!

I dabbled with having multiple MMBoxes in the header area – like DIYthemes – and got it going by adding the MMBox function 4 times in the feature box. If you have enough images and links to choose from you can get some decent variations without the same ones coming up repeatedly on each refresh. Did you want to share the code with how to do something like that? Also, how do you randomise what comes up each time e.g. different ebooks, ad blocks, feature articles?
