A Wordpress widget question

    This is going to be hard to explain - but I'll try :)

    I'm looking to create a Wordpress site where the bottom part of the main body area of all posts will have a designated spot where a script gets called up (which could be a bunch of links, a banner, a limited time offer, etc). The purpose is to have all pages on the entire Wordpress site have this designated area get updated at the same time:

    [​IMG]

    I was wondering if I could accomplish this by possibly moving the widgets code to that area? Would that work? If not, how could I accomplish something like this?

    You could put the php call in your single.php (or whatever it may be called with your theme).

    Most likely an affiliate ad, or some other kind of limited-time promotion

    Put your affiliate ad in a txt file rename it affiliate_ad.php or whatever you want to call it, Place it in your current theme folder

    Then use <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/affiliate_ad.php");?> in your single.php or wherever else you want it to call it..

    Any time you change affiliate_ad.php it will change every instance of it

    I think that's what you were asking...
