Google Adsense Typo Sidebar

Posted by hardwarehank, Sat Jan 20 06:35:51 UTC 2007

Well, I made the transition to Site5 Hosting today. They have an amazing deal - $5/month for 2 years gets you 5 TB/month transfer and 55 GB HD Space. It’s a very Rails-Friendly environment, too! I got Typo up and running today which was transfered from the college webserver it’s been on for a year. They give you shell access, unlimited databases…it’s insane. And I also transferred my domain there - $8.88/year is a little expensive, but that’s OK. They have tons of support for Ruby including tons of popular gems, and their admin interface is very slick.

Anyway, so this is my first post on Site5. I wanted to show off my Google Adsense sidebar, which I made to generate revenue to pay the server bills.

You can get it from my usual subversion repository:


svn co https://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/repos/hank/code/google_ads_sidebar

It’s very simple to use (at least in my very old checkout of Typo). First, dump it in the typo/vendor/plugins directory. Then, go find it. Then jam in your key from the code they gave you. It should look something like this: pub-1275878260955547. Finally, save, and go stare in awe at the results. You might have to restart Typo’s webserver or clear its cache first.

    Welcome! Glad you like the admin interface - it's interesting to note that Backstage is 100% Ruby on Rails too :)
