 * Hello,
 * Firstly thank you for a great plugin!
 * We are building a news website at the moment and we are looking to add an Ads
   Place inside the header of our site so we can have advertisers on there.
 * Is there a way for us to add the ads place inside the header.php to do this.
 * Thank you in advance!

 * Hi internetgenie – this is the code I inserted in the header.php:
 * <?php if(function_exists(‘drawAdsPlace’)) drawAdsPlace(array(‘id’ => 1), array(‘
   before’ => ‘<div class=”ad”>’, ‘after’ => ‘</div>’)); ?>
 * good luck 🙂

 * Hi mariavibe-Thank you for answering me.
 * I have managed to come up with a work around by adding a widget area into the
   header.php by following the instructions here:
 * [http://www.tips4developer.com/wordpress/wordpress-create-custom-widget-area/](http://www.tips4developer.com/wordpress/wordpress-create-custom-widget-area/)
   then just adding an Ads Place widget in the new widget area created and using
   CSS to get it to look right.
