Adding a video to a post and the sidebar video player

  3. Go to appearance>>widgets and drag the Woo – Videos Widget to the widgetized area of your choice to make the video player display on your Web site.

Adding a video to a post

To add a video to a post, copy the embed code from your favourite video sharing site and paste it into the “MyStream Custom Settings” box below the WYSIWYG editor in your post backend manager.

Placing an advert on your website

The MyStream theme has three dedicated ad sizes available to you. A top banner (468 x 60 pixels), a content banner (468 x 60 pixels) and 3 side-by-side block (125×125 pixels) adverts. It also comes with an adsense widget.

The top banner (468 x 60 pixels), content banner (468 x 60 pixels) and 3 side-by-side block (125×125 pixels) adverts have dedicated positions on the site and are only required to be set up and enabled/disabled in the theme options.

The Adspace widget is set up under the widget options and can be positioned in any of the sidebar widgetized zones. It can be any size, obviously not bigger than the sidebar widths though.

The image below shows the demo’s setup of the top banner advert.
