the one thing I hate about having a multi: giving up my muses' individualized aesthetics....

[inventorofwonderfulthings]

This is my blog. ❤️💛💜 🇵🇸

So for anyone who asks what my URL is about - and generally for anyone who needs a bit of hope - I have the "Inventor of wonderful things" because of a quote in Federico García Lorca and Salvador Dalí letters. For context, Federico García Lorca is a Spanish poet and playwright. He began dating Salvador (dating is a strong word, they were more like codependent assholes but weeeelll) around the 1920s.

Federico is in the process of writing el Romancero Gitano, which was kind of his breakthrough, but he hasn't gotten famous for his plays yet. He is 30, and back to living in his parents' home, having finished a college degree in Law that he didn't even want to in the first place, and a SECOND degree in Literature because that was the closest he could get to being a writer. He is living in a deeply homophobic town, with almost no one to talk to, and feeling, as he writes, "like he is drowning."

Salvador is 24 and has been expelled from the Arts degree he spent years trying to get into. He is back at home again, hasn't yet done a single exhibition, and his dad is planning to get him to military service (probably because he suspects he is dating a poet). At this point both are kind of lost and kind of stuck.

And Salvador writes "one day you will remember that you are an inventor of wonderful things and we will live together"

Some years ago I told a friend why I liked this quote (besides the fact that I like the nuclear amounts of toxicity these two reached) And ... maybe it's simply the compliment, the "you are an inventor of wonderful things" is such a definitive thing, like saying "to me, everything you do, everything you create, everything you think and say is wonderful, it's worth being amazed at"

But context is also important. At this point almost no one knows them. They have appeared in some small newspapers, but they do not have the international status they would reach in the future. They are just two lonely people writing to each other and saying "one day everyone will realize that everything you do is great. But until then, only you and I know that. And I'm content with that."

Anyway, for now, I'm happy to be the person who knows that a lot of you are great. 💚🤍

El blog de url pintor1plorenzo.blogspot.com pertenece a la galería online de Paulino Lorenzo Tardón; que resulta fácilmente accesible desde el blog central paulinolorenzotardon.blogspot.com

En este caso concreto (pintor1plorenzo.blogspot.com) está dedicado acuarelas, carteles y obra seleccionada en concursos.

La entrada de Agosto de 2015 (enlace adjunto) muestra un cartel promocional de la Semana Santa 1986 para la localidad de Lorca (Murcia) realizado por el artista plástico Paulino Lorenzo Tardón.

[endsjustify]

Lorca: What do you wish for? Atonement? Redemption? Maybe... the reassurance that the captain you lost didn't die in vain? You helped start a war. Don't you want to help me end it?

...

Lorca: You think I care what your preferences are? Until your vessel's repaired, you'll be assigned to quarters and put to work. I'm not a chauffer. There's no free rides on my ship. You were once a Starfleet officer. I will use you or anything else I can to achieve my mission. Burnham: And what mission is that, sir? Lorca: To win the war, of course. Send everyone home. Safe and happy.

Can we talk about how much singular responsibility he takes onto himself to win this war? Like, he’s the captain of ONE SHIP in the entire fleet. And yes, he’s got the ship with the spore drive, but damn does he talk as if the entire war is his responsibility and his alone...

Favorite food: beef chow fun/noodles

Favorite movie: our times!

Favorite ice cream flavor: chocolate chip cookie dough

Favorite animal: cats! 

Coffee or tea? What are you ordering? hmm i’m not a big fan of either tbh but vietnamese iced coffee with a LOT of condensed milk is super good 

Dream job (whether you have a job or not): honestly idk! maybe an editor or professor who knows

Go-to karaoke song: “gee” by snsd or “if it ain’t you” by alicia keys

If you could have one superpower, what would you choose? vocal-induced manipulation or basically power of persuasion with my words hehe

If you could visit a historical era, which would you choose? maybe the 90s! i really like the vibes and aesthetic

If you could restart your life, knowing what you do now, would you? no bc learning is a part of life!

Would you rather fight 100 chicken-sized horses or one horse-sized chicken? horse sized chicken hahaha bc horses are wild

If you were a trope in a teen high school movie, what would you have been? drama queen LOLL

Do you believe in aliens/supernatural creatures? to an extent yes! 

If a genie gave you three wishes, what would they be? world peace, equality for all, and hmm true love in every life i live

Fun fact about yourself that not everyone would know? i have 3k followers on pinterest hahaha weird flex

When did you post your first piece? april 2020!

Do you write fluff/angst/crack/general/smut, combo, etc? Why? i write most fluff and angst or a combo! with some crack bc who doesn’t love some humor hahah

Do you write OCs, X Readers, Ships...etc? i write reader inserts

Why did you start writing on Tumblr? ive been writing on tumblr since 2015, just for diff fandoms bc i always loved reading fanfics and i wanted to become a better writer

What inspires you to write? other writings, real life experiences, dreams, basically anything!

What genres/AUs do you enjoy writing the most? i find fluff easier to write than angst but i like a good balance of all the genres! i rly like writing soulmate!aus for some reason or just some domestic fluffy established relationship stuff

What do you hope your readers take away from your work? i hope they can actually feel the emotions i’m hoping to convey from each character (referring to my more angsty works) or their sweet tooth gets satiated hehe

What do you do when you hit a rough spot creatively? i try to read other stories or talk to my moots to help me!

What is your favorite work and why? Your most successful? i think my fav has to be only forever because it’s something that i feel like is really cliche but it actually represents the meaning of young innocent first loves. i reminds me of what someone’s youth should sort of feel like. my most successful has been jsmr: sugar and spice because who doesn’t love jsmr!jeno and some sweet fluff and a spicy make out scene 🤭

Who is your favorite person to write about? jeno or jaemin tbh

Do you think there’s a difference between writing fanfiction vs. completely original prose? there is a slight difference because fanfiction provides you a sort of foundation with characters but to be honest, i believe that if you just switch the names and perspectives for most of the stories on here, it would become a bestselling hit because it conveys the same emotions and it’s just as enjoyable to read. the writers on here are truly exceptional. 

What do you think makes a good story? i definitely think little details and the nuances that add to the plot development and character development. most importantly, if a story evokes emotions from me and i can feel the story then i think it’s beautiful in itself. 

What is your writing process like? for me, i can come up with an idea based off of anything that might inspire me. like watching something, reading another story or just a dream i have. then i like to outline my stories by bouncing ideas with my best friend and from there once i figure out all the points i wanna hit i start writing! or for spur of the moment fics i deadass just start writing

Would you ever repurpose a fic into a completely original story? yes, most likely. 

What tropes do you love, and what tropes can’t you stand? i love fwb to lovers and enemies to lovers! also soulmate!aus / tatbilb tropes cus i’m a sucker for cheesy stuff. i’m not a big fan of cheating/parent/apoc!aus or love triangles. oh and i can’t stand slow burn 😭

How much would you say audience feedback/engagement means to you? as someone who lives off of validation, it means a lot and motivates me to write my stories and post them! we put so much hard work into our stories, so feedback and engagement is honestly the least you can do ����

What has been one of the biggest factors of your success (of any size)? i think just being in a community with other talented writers has taught me a lot!! and of course, having people read my work.

Do you think fanfic writers get unfairly judged? yes! all the time. 

Do you think art can be a medium for change? yes, maybe not on a macro scale but personally definitely. 

Do you ever feel there are times when you’re writing for others, rather than yourself? sometimes, but i always try to pull myself back into why i really started writing. but writing for others helps motivate me. 

Do you ever feel like people have misunderstood you or your writing at times? not on a serious level! it’s more so how details and events are interpreted but it’s fun to see how ppl have different perspectives on own piece versus your own vision.

Do your offline friends/loved ones know you write for Tumblr? yes!! not my family ofc but my close friends do and support me 100% and i’m forever grateful for this

What is one thing you wish you could tell your followers? thank you so much for everything you’ve ever done for me no matter how little or small it may seem, it means the world to me. 

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers who might be too scared to put themselves out there? i think you need to realize why you’re writing and it’s because it brings you happiness, and you’re sharing your beautiful work out there and it has the possibility to change someone’s life whether it’s bringing them a little bit of joy or helping them feel emotions. you might discover things you never knew about yourself as well. 

Are there any times when you regret joining Tumblr? not really! as of recently i’ve seen a lot of changes with the platform and although it’s a big struggle, i can’t regret it because it’s brought me so much.  

Do you have any mutuals who have been particularly formative/supportive in your Tumblr journey? i’d hate to pick and choose because all my mutuals have really helped me in some way whether or not they know it because they inspire me, motivate me, and are just genuinely amazing people to talk to. but honestly talking to mary / @neostains​, nana / @nanasarea​, anie / @mjlkau​ have helped me open up from being shy and i appreciate them a whole lot. 

Pick a quote to end your interview with:  “to burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.” - spanish poet federico garcia lorca

ADning Advertising: Create Adverts For Your WordPress Site

Advertising is one of the main ways that websites generate revenue.

Perhaps you created a blog specifically to drive people towards your website’s Store page, and want to give visitors that extra little push? Maybe you run several websites, and want to promote your biggest-earner across your entire portfolio? Or maybe you don’t have anything to promote, but wouldn’t mind generating some cash by selling advertising space to third parties? 

Despite the money-making potential, WordPress doesn’t support advertisements out-of-the-box. Most WordPress themes don’t even have space where you can display ads!

WordPress

If you dream of turning your website into an additional source of revenue, then you have two options: dig into your theme’s files and modify its code to support adverts,or let a plugin do all the hard work for you! 

In this article, I’ll show you how to create a range of adverts and display them across your website, using the popular ADning Advertising plugin. To help ensure your ads generate as many click-throughs as possible, we’ll be using ADning to display customized ads based on factors such as the visitor’s geographical location, and the time of day. Finally, I’ll show how to monetize your website even if you don’t have anything to promote, by selling advertising space to third parties. 

Getting Started With the ADning Advertising Plugin 

The first step, is installing the ADning Advertising plugin: 

If you haven’t already registered, create your free Envato Market account.
 Head over to the CodeCanyon website, click the little Sign In button in the upper-right corner, and then enter your Envato account details.
 Once you’re logged into your account, head over to the ADning Advertising listing, click Buy Now and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete your purchase.  


When prompted, download the ADning plugin. 
Unzip the downloaded file; the subsequent folder should contain several folders and files, including angwp.zip, which you’ll need to upload to WordPress.


Adding a Third Party Plugin to WordPress

Once you’ve downloaded the ADning Advertising plugin, you’ll need to upload it to your WordPress account:

Log into WordPress, if you haven’t already. 
Select Plugins from WordPress’ left-hand menu, followed by Add New.
Select the Upload Plugin button.
 

Now scroll to the If you have a plugin in a .zip format section, and select Choose file.
Select your angwp.zip file and click Install Now. 

ADning will now be uploaded to your WordPress account. After a few moments, a new ADning item should appear in WordPress’ left-hand menu. 


Activating the ADning Advertising Plugin 

Next, you’ll need to active ADning, by entering your license key:

Head over to the CodeCanyon website and log into your account.
 Select your username in the upper-right corner, followed by Downloads.
 Find the ADning Advertising item, and select its accompanying Download button.
 Choose License certificate & purchase code from the dropdown menu. 


Once your license has downloaded, open it and find your Item purchase code. You'll need to copy this information then, in your WordPress account, select ADning from the left-hand menu. Select the Product License tab and paste your purchase code into the Add your license key here field.
 

Finally, click Activate ADning. After a few moments, you should see a Plugin activated successfully message. Your plugin is now ready to use! 


Placing Adverts on Your Website

In this section, we’ll be placing four different styles of adverts on our WordPress website:

A banner ad that’ll run along the top of the page. 


An embedded banner that’ll be displayed inside the page’s content.


A popup ad.


An “injected” advert that’ll be displayed on a line specified by you. 


To create these ads, I’ll be using a graphic that promotes Envato Elements, but you can use any graphic you want. 

Creating Your First ADning Ad

To display an advert, we need to create: 

A banner, which is essentially the graphic that we want to use.


A campaign, which sets a start and an end date for your advert.


An Ad Zone, which defines where your banner will appear on the page, and the kind of advert that’ll be displayed to the visitor, such as a popup or a vertical banner.


We then need to link these three components together, and insert the finished advert into our website using either shortcode or a widget. 

While this may seem like a lot of setup just to display a single ad, you can re-use these elements multiple times, for example you may decide to run multiple adverts as part of the same campaign, or use the same Ad Zone for all your banners.

Turn Any Image Into a Banner 

Let’s start by creating a banner, using a graphic of your choice. Note that depending on the dimensions of your chosen graphic, you may need to play around with the common advertisement settings in order to create an advert that looks good and functions correctly. 

Select Banner from WordPress’ left-hand menu and click Add New Banner. 
Under Title give this banner a descriptive name; I’m using Elements banner.
 In Add a banner link, enter the URL that your banner should link to; I’m using the Elements website.
 

Now open Target and specify the window where the destination URL should load, for example in a new tab or inside the current advertising frame. If you’re linking to an external website, then you’ll typically load the URL in a new tab or window, because you don't want to encourage visitors to navigate away from your website. 

Find the Select one of the common banner sizes section and open its accompanying dropdown. Here, you’ll find some of the most commonly used advertising styles and sizes, such as vertical banner, pop under and full banner. Select the banner style and sizing that best represents the advertisement you want to create, or select Custom and then specify an exact size in pixels. Note that this step may require some trial and error! 


Select Click here or Drag file to upload and then choose the graphic that you want to use. 
Find the Auto Positioning section and specify where your banner should appear on the page. Since I want to display this banner along the top of the screen, I’m selecting Above content. 


Scroll to Alignment and then choose from left, right or center alignment; I’m using Center. 


When you’re happy with the information you’ve entered, select Save Banner. 


Create Your First Advertising Campaign

Next, we need to create a campaign. This campaign will dictate the date and time when the advertisement will first appear on your website, and when it’ll disappear: 

Select Campaigns from WordPress’ left-hand menu, then select Add New Campaign.
 Give this campaign a descriptive Title; I’m using Elements campaign.

In the Start Date section, enter the month, day, year and time when this campaign should start. To make it easier to test your advert, you should choose either the current date and time, or backdate the advert so it’ll appear on your website immediately. 
Click to expand the End date section, and then choose the date and time when this campaign should end, at which point the associated advert(s) will disappear from your website.
 

When you’re happy with your changes, select Save Campaign.


Make Space for Your Advert: Creating an AD Zone 

Finally, we need to create an AD Zone, which is the region of the page where we’ll display our advert. Once we’ve created an AD Zone, you can re-use that zone for subsequent adverts:

Select AD Zones from WordPress’ left-hand menu and click Add New AD Zone. 


Give the AD Zone a descriptive Title; I’m using Elements AD Zone.
 

Find the Select one of the common banner sizes section, and open its accompanying dropdown. Here, you’ll find some common advertisement sizes, such as vertical banner, pop under and full banner. Select the option that best represents the banner you’re placing within this AD Zone. Alternatively, you can select Custom and then specify the exact dimensions. 


Now, open the Linked banners dropdown and select the banner we created in the previous step. 
Open the Campaign dropdown and select the campaign.  
Scroll to the Alignment section and choose how you want to position this AD Zone onscreen; I’m selecting Center.


Once you’re happy with the information you’ve entered, select Save AD Zone.

Connect Your Components

Now we've created all three components, we just need to link our banner to our campaign and AD Zone: 

Select Banners from WordPress’ left-hand menu.


Find the banner that you previously created and click its accompanying Edit link.


Open the Campaigns dropdown and select your campaign. 


Open Adzones and select the AD Zone you created in the previous step.


Select Save banner.

Displaying Your Advert

Now we have all three of our components, we’re ready to place the advert on our website using either an ADning widget or shortcode. Let’s explore both options: 

1. Use a Widget

One option, is to place a widget on your website and then assign it an appropriate AD Zone and banner:

In WordPress’ left-hand menu, select Appearance > Widgets. 
Click to expand the ADning ADS section and select Add widget. 

Open the Select a banner dropdown and choose the banner that you want to display. 
Open Select an Adzone and then select the AD Zone that we created earlier. 
Click Save. 


Now, load any WordPress page or post, and your banner should appear at the top of the screen. 

Give this banner a click to make sure it links through to your chosen URL in either a new tab, window or within the current advertisement frame, depending on how you’ve configured your banner. 

Note that at this point you may need to spend some time tweaking your banner style and sizing, depending on your original graphic, how you chose to position that graphic, and your website’s theme. 

2. Copy and Paste the Shortcode

Alternatively, you can display the finished advert using shortcode. I'll use a shortcode to display the advert in a widget.

Select AD Zones from WordPress’ left-hand menu. Then find your AD Zone and click its accompanying Edit link.


Scroll to the Export section; this should contain a block of shortcode. Copy all of this code.


In WordPress’ left-hand menu, select Appearance > Widgets. 
Click to expand the ADning ADS section.
 Select Add widget. 
Paste your shortcode into the Or add the adzone shortcode section.


When you're done, click Save. 


Once again, load any page or post that makes up your website, and your banner should appear onscreen. 

What Other Ad Styles Can I Use? 

ADning Advertising supports a wide range of different advertising styles. In this section we’ll be exploring a few simple ways that you can modify our existing banner to create a completely different style of ad. 

Creating Embedded Ads 

Let’s start by moving our banner from the top of the page and embedding it within our webpage’s content.

Every time you create an embedded ad, you have the option to repeat this advertisement at regular intervals, for example once every five paragraphs. 

If your website contains large amounts of text, then an occasional embedded advert can be more appealing than a solid wall of words—just don’t get carried away! Remember that some visitors may be viewing your website on the smaller screen of a smartphone or tablet, where each advert could potentially take up their entire screen, forcing them to scroll to find the content they’re actually interested in.  

To turn our banner into an embedded ad: 

Select ADning > Banners from WordPress’ left-hand menu.
 Find the banner that you want to edit and select its accompanying Edit link.


Scroll to the Auto Positioning section and select the Inside content thumbnail, which will give you access to a new Custom Placement Settings section. 
Specify where your advert should appear, using the After x paragraphs field.
 Optionally, you can turn this advert into a repeating advert by clicking the Repeat slider so that it changes from No to Yes. If you select Yes, then your advert will repeat at the interval defined in the After x paragraphs field.


When you’re happy with your changes, click Save Banner.

Custom Classnames: Control Exactly Where You Ad Appears

Would you like more control over where each advert appears? Perhaps you want to position an advert next to a relevant paragraph, or maybe pick-and-choose which advert appears on each webpage? 

You can control the page, paragraph, and even the line where your advert appears, by creating one or more custom classnames, and then assigning each classname to an advert. Then, you just need to insert the correct custom classname into your website’s HTML, and the associated advert will appear in that exact spot. 

Using the Widget Options Plugin

You can create custom classnames quickly and easily using a dedicated plugin; I’m opting to use the free Widget Options plugin.

You can install this plugin from the WordPress plugin directory. To setup it up, just select Plugins > Add New from WordPress’ left-hand menu.
 Search for Widget Options.
When the correct plugin appears, select Install Now.


Once the plugin has been installed, click Activate.

Creating Custom Classnames

Next, we need to create a custom classname. Depending on your setup, you might decide to create a single classname for a specific advert, a different classname for each advert, or a single classname that you’ll use across all of your adverts. 

To help keep things simple, we’ll be creating a single classname:

In WordPress’ left-hand menu, select Settings > Widget Options. 


Find the Classes & ID section and select Configure settings.
 Select the Enable ID Field checkbox. 


You can now use the Predefined Classes field to create a list of all the custom classnames that you want to use. Type each classname into the field and then press the + button.


When you’re happy with the information you’ve entered, click Save Settings.


Next, select Appearance > Widgets from WordPress’ left-hand menu. 
Click to expand the Adning ADS section.


Select the little cog icon, which opens the Settings tab.


Select the Class & ID tab. 
The Class & ID tab should contain a list of all the custom classnames that you can use with ADning; select the classname that you just created and click Save.


Assigning Custom Classnames

Next, we need to assign this custom classname to our advert: 

Select ADning > Banners from WordPress’ left-hand menu.
 Find our advert, and then select its accompanying Edit link.
 Scroll to the Default AD placements section and select Inject before/after class. 


In the Custom Placement Settings section, open the Where dropdown and specify whether your advert should be placed Before or After the point where you insert the classname into your HTML. Note that it may not be immediately clear which option will work best for your particular website, but you can always return to this page and modify the Before/After setting later. 


In the Element field, type the classname that you want to associate with this advertisement and when you're done you can click Save Banner.


 Editing Your Website's HTML

Now, we can place this advert anywhere on our website, by inserting the custom classname into our HTML: 

Find the page or post where you want to display your advert, and open that item for editing.  


Click to select the block where you want to place your ad; a little floating toolbar should appear.


Select the three-dotted icon, followed by Edit as HTML.

You can now add your custom classname to any of the page or post’s HTML tags. For example, imagine I’d created an elementsAd custom class and wanted to place my advert before the following block: 

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis id tincidunt turpis. Pellentesque neque magna, egestas quis orci a, luctus pretium tellus. Donec egestas enim massa, sed pellentesque massa tempus in.</p>

In this scenario, I’d add class="elementsAd" to the opening <p> tag: 

<p class="elementsAd">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis id tincidunt turpis. Pellentesque neque magna, egestas quis orci a, luctus pretium tellus. Donec egestas enim massa, sed pellentesque massa tempus in.</p>

Insert the custom classname in your chosen location, then save your changes and navigate to the page or post in question. Your advert should have appeared, at the point where you inserted the custom classname. 

Create a Popup Ad

ADning Advertising also supports popup advertisements, which by default appear every time a visitor navigates to a new page.

To convert our banner ad into a popup:

Select ADning > Banners from WordPress’ left-hand menu.


Find the banner that you want to modify and click its accompanying Edit link.


Scroll to the Auto positioning section, and then select Popup/Sticky. 


In the Custom Placement Settings section, use the thumbnails to select where this popup should appear onscreen; I’m using Bottom/Center. 


Click Save Banner.

Now, whenever you navigate to a new webpage, a popup advertisement will appear. 

Immediately, this poses a problem: no-one wants to be confronted by a popup every single time they navigate to a new page! Conveniently, this leads us onto our next topic. 

Control Where Your Ads Appear 

If a visitor encounters the exact same ad on every single post and page across your site, then in the best case scenario that advert is quickly going to become invisible to them.

In the worst case scenario, the visitor will get so frustrated that they’ll navigate away from your website, especially if you’re using intrusive adverts such as popups.

Often, you’ll want to set some restrictions about where each advert can appear, and ADning gives you several options:

Select ADning > Banners from WordPress’ left-hand menu.

Find the banner ad that you want to edit, and then click its accompanying Edit link.

From here, you can set the following restrictions.

Ban This Advert From Your Home Page

Your home page is often a visitor’s first impression of your website, and a page full of adverts isn’t exactly a great first impression!

To prevent this advert from appearing on your home page, find the Home page section and click its accompanying Show/Hide button, so that it displays Hide.

Don’t Display This Ad on Smartphones or Tablets

The smaller screen of a smartphone or tablet can make a webpage feel much more ad-heavy than it actually is. Since mobile users typically have a much lower tolerance for ads, you may want to reduce the number of adverts that appear on mobile devices.

You can block this advert from smartphones or tablets, or both, using the Show/Hide toggles in the Device Filters section. 

For example, if you wanted to prevent this advert from appearing on smartphones, then you’d find the Mobile section and toggle its accompanying button to read Hide. 

Block This Ad From Specific Pages and Posts

You may want to ensure that a few webpages remain completely ad-free, for example if there’s a page where an ad would be inappropriate, or you simply want to give your visitors a break!

You can use ADning to name specific pages and posts where this advert should never appear:

Scroll to the For page section.

Click the Show/Hide button so that it reads Hide.

In the accompanying field, start typing the name of the page or post in question, and then select it from the dropdown menu when it appears.

Display This Ad on the Named Page Only

If you only want to display this advert on a small number of pages and posts, then it may be easier to simply name the webpages where this advert should appear:

In the For page section, click the Show/Hide button so that it reads Show.

Enter the name of the page or post where this advert should appear, and then select it from the dropdown menu. 

You can repeat the final step, until you’ve named all the webpages where this ad should make an appearance.  

Drive User Engagement With Customized Ads 

You can encourage visitors to interact with your ads by delivering customized content. ADning gives you the option to tailor your ads based on the visitor’s geographical location, and the date and time when they’re viewing the advert.

Filter Content by Country

There’s lots of reasons why you might display different adverts, depending on the visitor’s location. 

You may be able to encourage visitors to engage with your ads, by targeting their location, for example displaying ads that relate to national holidays such as Canada Day, Chinese New Year or St. Patrick’s Day. Since your website has the potential to reach a global audience, you should also consider that some of your ads may be deemed inappropriate, or even offensive in certain parts of the world.

To display ads based on the visitor’s location: 

Select ADning > Banners from WordPress’ left-hand menu.

Find the banner that you want to edit, and then click its accompanying Edit link.

Scroll to the Country filters section.

From here, you can block this advert for specific countries:  

Press the Show/Hide button so that it changes to Hide. 

In the accompanying text field, enter the country, or countries where your advert shouldn’t be displayed. 

Alternatively, if this ad is only relevant for a small number of countries, then it may be easier to simply name these locations:  

Toggle the Show/Hide button so that it reads Show. 

Specify every country where you want to display this ad. 

Display Ads Based on Date and Time

Your visitors may be more likely to interact with an advert at a certain date or time. For example, you may have more success displaying entertainment-focused ads on a Friday afternoon, and job adverts on a Monday morning.  

If you’re an organized person, then you could even schedule ads to go live months in advance, for example creating a campaign that’ll kick in at midnight on Black Friday.

To control the date and time when an advert is visible on your website, you’ll need to edit the campaign associated with that ad:

Select ADning > Campaigns from WordPress’ left-hand menu.

Find the campaign that you want to edit, and then click its accompanying Edit button.

Click to expand the Advanced date options.

In this expanded panel, you’ll have access to a range of different date and time settings, including the ability to display this advert on a specific day of the week, during the weekend only, or at a certain time. 

How to Sell Ad Space to Third Parties 

Just because you don’t have anything to advertise, doesn’t mean you can’t generate money from advertisements! Once you’ve created some advertising space on your website, you can use ADning to sell this space to third parties, who will then run their ads on your website. 

If you’ve already setup the popular WooCommerce eCommerce plugin, then you can sell this space and receive payments via your existing WooCommerce checkout. 

To take advantage of ADning’s WooCommerce integration, you’ll need to setup the ADning WooCommerce plugin, which is included as part of your ADning license. 

To setup ADning WooCommerce, select ADning from WordPress’ left-hand menu.

Select the Add-ons tab. Adning WooCommerce will be listed under Included Add-Ons. Give this plugin a click, and it should be installed automatically. 

Now select ADning > General Settings from WordPress’ left-hand menu and choose the Sell tab. 

Click to expand the WooCommerce Settings section. Find the Create Adning Ads WooCommerce Product and give it a click. To start accepting payments via your WooCommerce checkout, select the Activate toggle so that it turns from No to Yes.

Click Save changes.

You should now be able to setup and manage all of your third party ads, via ADning’s Frontend AD Manager:

Navigate to the Sell screen, if you haven’t already (ADning > General Settings > Sell.)

Click to expand the Frontend AD Manager Settings section.

Click the Frontend AD Manager link, and the AD Manager should open in a new tab, ready for you to configure your third party ads.

Conclusion 

In this article, I showed you how to setup and use the popular ADning Advertising plugin. If you’ve been following along, then you’ll have created a selection of ads, and then customized these ads in several different ways, including displaying different ads based on the visitor’s location, and the time of day. Finally, I showed how you to start selling advertising space to third parties, using the ADning WooCommerce plugin and AD Manager. 

You can learn more about creating, displaying and managing WordPress ads, over at the official ADning website, or by taking a look at the plugin’s documentation.

2018 Fanfic Year in Review: June

We’re All Gonna Get In A Fight (T) | @warp6 | ST:VOY, ST:DSC | Georgiou x Chakotay | 8,986 words

When the temporal alarms begin to sound at Starfleet Academy, Chakotay follows regulations and heads for his dorm room, only to find a girl from another time dripping blood into his sink–-and she’s pretty sure this room in Cochrane Hall is hers, too. Restricted to quarters until the anomaly has been eliminated, Chakotay and Philippa discover they have a lot more in common than a dorm assignment.

A fantastic crossover, and Cadet Chakotay in particular is true to character – young and scrappy, but overwhelmingly kind and thoughtful, while Cadet Georgiou is brave and defiant and sad. Temporal displacement can’t stop them from finding common ground as two kids from the wrong side of the tracks on not-so-utopian Earth. (I never did buy that the future has no class divide, or no currency for that matter.) Georgiou telling Chakotay that he’s the one who belongs in Starfleet, not her, is deliciously, painfully ironic, and I wonder if he, knowing the kind of person she was, thinks of her when he later makes the big decisions in his life.

The Buran (T) | @lorcaswhisky | ST:DSC | Lorca Prime | 32,424 words

January 2256. Captain Gabriel Lorca has a crew of oddballs, a ship held together by duct tape, and a routine. And he wouldn't have it any other way.Until an accident during an ion storm changes everything.A story about the difference between fate and choice, between love and hate; about time, family, and what it really means to be a good captain.

I need to finish reading this story before I can properly comment, but I remember being thoroughly engrossed in Captain Lorca’s pride in his ship and crew, his endearing little traits, his great relationship with his first officer. And then accident that swaps Lorcas between universes, and the crew’s reaction to the changes in “their captain” … I need more hours in the day so I can finish reading this immediately.

One Day (T) | @caladeniablue | ST:VOY | Janeway x Chakotay | 668 words

Death does kill you.

How is it possible to fit so much heart-shattering emotion into less than seven hundred words? I suspect this is the not-ending the protocol-bound command couple was afraid of.

Honourable mention: With Beautiful Reluctance (T) | @warp6 | ST:VOY | Janeway | 56,783 words

They do not know who they are or where they come from. They do not know how they came to be here, in this overgrown garden with its crumbling observatory. They do not even know their own name. But a series of alarming discoveries--a child's abandoned toys, a woman's frantic recording, a smoking ruin--sends them on a desperate quest to unravel the mystery of what happened here, the fate of these vanished people, and the truth of their own identity.

This is an honourable mention because I haven’t finished reading it, but what I read in the early days of posting was fantastic and utterly unique. Primarily (at least, the parts I’ve read) a character study of an amnesiac Janeway, it reveals her character in gorgeous little morsels, all the while building the mystery.

Name: Wyll Birthday: nov 9th. First muse on Tumblr: Pitch Black (when/where I was actually writing in english for something else than school for the first time ever). First RP url: askthedarknesspit Why did you pick your first muse?: Tried tumblr roleplay, picked the first that came to mind and it was after I’d seen the movie so. Latest muse on Tumblr: Yon-Rogg Latest RP url: ofstarforce Why did you pick your latest muse?: i’ve wanted to take him on since the movie. then the sweetest pie added danvers to his muses so i bursted through his door with a new blog ( and we managed for yaz to bring back her ronan so.... ) yea there was a lot of reasons. that and morally grey muses are usually my jam. Best RP Memory:  in this fandom. when we had a group, years ago and we were always plotting things and throwing starters at each other and it went even to skype. there’s a lot of good memories when it comes to tumblr rp to be honest. Worst RP Memory: The Robin Hood 2006 fandom. Lots of guilt tripping, lots of bullshit, but I’ve also met great friends there. What are all the muses you had on Tumblr?: here we go omg. i’m totally gonna forget some. HP / FB: Albus Dumbledore, Star Trek: Gabriel Lorca, Hugh Culber, USS Enterprise, Amanda Grayson, Christopher Pike, Sarek, Spock, Mirror!Spock, Q Lotr/Hobbit: Celeborn, Thranduil, Bard, Thorin, One Ring.

I am 100% forgetting someone but I have had too many muses on here alright xD ) Shortest muse?: Man… Oh, Thorin x) That was easy. Any advice for RPing?: have fun. literally. It’s hard sometimes and not everyone is nice, you can’t please everyone, but to be honest, it’s a hobby. It’s not a job, it’s not an obligation. Have fun, be creative, be wild. In the end you’re the only one who’ll suffer if you don’t stop once the fun is gone.
