So here's the long and short of it all...I joined the company I'm at now back in October and met with our (then) IT consultant who set our site up in DNN.  Since then, he's left our IT company and the new contact has been away on vacation.  I've had vendors forward me banners to use for the site but I've not been able to find ANY somewhat readable (note-I'm a relative newbie) info on how to set up banners, get them to rotate, etc.  So, if someone could forward some useful hints or tips or link me to any documentation on the following, I would appreciate it more than I'm sure you could imagine!

Here's what I'm looking for:
* placing a new banner ad into a pre-existing banner module 
* creating a rotating set of banner ads
* placing a new banner which was embedded in HTML (I didn't get the actual image, just the code with the link to the image in it).

I'm sure there's someone here who has something they can help me with...I'm going on vacation next week and would LOVE to get this accomplished by then. 

Thanks SO MUCH in advance for any assistance!!

Hi Lauren,

Banners are managed in Vendors in either the Admin or the Host menu.  Each Vendor can have any number of banners.  The key to banners is the Banner Group.  In the Banner Module that you add to your page, the Banner Group decides which banners get rotated.  So, if I have 10 vendors, each with a banner in the group 'home'.  I just add a Banner Module to any page, and tell it to server banners in the 'home' group, and it will rotate the banners from those 10 vendors.   

For your banner which you have HTML, choose a banner type of Script, and it should server it correctly.

Good Luck!

Mike
