Give the row a class of ‘light-graybox’
Drag a SiteOrigin Editor Widget into the new row
Inside the widget, add an image 728px by 90px
Click on the image in the editor and make a hyperlink out of it by clicking on the insert link button to enter URL

Side rail advertisements are created in the Advertisments post type in the left-hand dashboard and are shown on the left navigation.

Categories are used by ads to determine which ads are on a page.
- By default, all ads categorized by ‘featured’ are shown on every page with a side-navigation (not homepage or landing pages). Other categories are used to mark some pages, but not all, for ads that relate to the subject in some way.
  - Feature ads include:
    - Paid advertisements
    - House ads for major initiatives including:
      - AALL Annual Meeting registration
      - Member renewals
  - Other categories include:
    - Membership – includes MGAM, special promos, etc.
    - In-Person Education – for Leadership Acadment, Management Institute, Competitive Intelligence, etc.
When editing a page with a side navigation, on the right-hand side, is a category area. Selecting a category will display all matching ads and ‘featured’ ads regardless if ‘featured’ is selected or not.

Sort order is determined by the date of the ad, with the newest ad at the top of the side rail.

To change order, the date of the ad must be edited.
